Hundreds of supporters of Donald Trump gathered outside Trump Tower in New York City, Saturday, to celebrate the end of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's two year long investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election.
The gathering was referred to on social media as a 'Happy No Collusion Day' rally.
Many attendees wore MAGA caps and pro-Trump clothing while holding up banners and waving flags.
Local grassroots pro-Trump organizations throughout the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania areas had called supporters to gather, rally and network.

They rallied on the corner of 5th Avenue and 56th Street in New York City, outside Trump Tower.
Banners were held aloft emblazoned with a host of different messages, like, 'Happy No Collusion Day' while others showed their support for the president to serve a second term and waved flags saying, 'Trump 2020.'
The rally comes the day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his long-awaited report to Attorney General Bill Barr.
A senior Justice Department official said Friday that Mueller has not recommended any new criminal indictments and there will be no more indictments filed with federal courts.
This would mean the president, his inner circle of present and former confidants and his family members are out of immediate legal jeopardy.

Trump has said for more than two years that the Mueller probe was a politically motivated operation inspired by an unverified opposition-research dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and his 2016 rival Hillary Clinton's campaign.
The president has repeatedly blasted the probe as a 'witch hunt' and he repeated his 'no collusion' mantra on Friday morning.
The special counsel's office has filed nearly 200 charges against 34 individuals — including six former Trump advisers and 26 Russians.
Seven of them have pleaded guilty to federal crimes. Judges have sentenced five of them.

It's possible Barr could send an executive summary to Capitol Hill and keep the rest private.
However, in his letter to Judiciary Committee chairs and ranking minority members, Barr said he is 'committed to as much transparency as possible.'
Barr added that he plans to consult with Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein to decide what information 'can be released to Congress and the public.'

The president's lawyers said they were happy to see Mueller bring what has been the Trump administration's longest nettling saga to an end.
'We're pleased that the Office of Special Counsel has delivered its report to the Attorney General pursuant to the regulations. Attorney General Barr will determine the appropriate next steps,' Giuliani and Jay Sekulow said.
Mueller's report followed a series of signals that his expansive probe, which accumulated costs of $25 million through the end of 2018, was entering its final stages.
