President Donald Trump has departed Mar-a-Lago for his golf course on Saturday morning, appearing carefree but remaining silent on Twitter after special counsel Robert Mueller filed his final report.
Trump's motorcade arrived at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida shortly after 9am on Saturday, with sunny skies above and a forecast high of 77 degrees.
En route, he was spotted perusing a newspaper, and wearing reading glasses, a red 'USA' hat and white polo shirt. There was no word on any planned golf partners for the day.
On Friday, a senior Justice Department official said that Mueller will file no more indictments with federal courts, meaning the president, his inner circle of present and former confidants and his family members are out of immediate legal jeopardy.

Trump had already arrived at his Florida retreat on Friday afternoon when Attorney General William Barr revealed that he had received the report.
The White House has not received a copy of the report or been briefed on it, according to Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.
'The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr, and we look forward to the process taking its course,' Sanders said in a statement.
Barr is expected to brief Congress on the key findings of the report as early as this weekend.

His silence has led some Trump critics to suspect that Mueller has uncovered incriminating information, but Trump's supporters insist that the lack of new indictments is vindication for the president.
Trump's motorcade on Saturday morning was the first public sighting of the president since word of the Mueller report broke.
On Friday afternoon, a few hours prior to the news, he appeared relaxed and smiling alongside First Lady Melania during a a photo opportunity with Caribbean leaders before a working meeting at Mar-a-lago.
