Trump: 'I Am An Innocent Man Being Persecuted...Only Because I Won The Election'
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Sunday again slammed Democrats and investigators.
President Trump has claimed that he is "an innocent man being persecuted" because he won the 2016 presidential election.
He expressed his frustration Sunday, writing on Twitter: "After more than two years of Presidential Harassment, the only things that have been proven is that Democrats and other broke the law."
The president then slammed the high-profile appearance of his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday.
"The hostile Cohen testimony, given by a liar to reduce his prison time, proved no Collusion!" Trump added. "His just written book manuscript showed what he said was a total lie, but Fake Media won't show it."
"I am an innocent man being persecuted by some very bad, conflicted & corrupt people in a Witch Hunt that is illegal & should never have been allowed to start - And only because I won the Election! Despite this, great success!" Trump continued.
His comments were posted around the time House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said on ABC News' "This Week" that he and his colleagues "will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump Jr., Allen Weisselberg, to begin the investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power."
According to Nadler, the requests will start being sent out the following day, on Monday.
During the interview, the Democratic Congressman from New York was adamant that Trump had acted inappropriately, saying: "It's very clear that the president obstructed justice."
