Trump Says Mueller Team 'Threatening' People, 'Gone Absolutely Nuts'
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Thursday again went after Robert Mueller on Twitter.
President Trump on Thursday launched a scathing Twitter attack against special counsel Robert Mueller, who's probing Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want," Trump wrote.
He continued: "They are a disgrace to our Nation and don't care how many lives the ruin. These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won't even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!"
This is not the first time Trump has dismissed the Russia probe as a "witch hunt."
"Despite the disgusting, illegal and unwarranted Witch Hunt, we have had the most successful first 17 month Administration in U.S. history - by far! Sorry to the Fake News Media and 'Haters,' but that's the way it is!" Trump tweeted earlier this year.
Back in May, Senate Intelligence Committee leaders said in a joint statement that the panel agreed with the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election "for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton."
