President Donald Trump on Monday continued his Twitter attack on special counsel Robert Mueller, calling the ongoing investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election a “witch hunt.”
“A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!” Trump tweeted Monday morning. He has frequently slammed the probe as a “witch hunt,” dismissing it as a frivolous investigation launched by his political enemies seeking to delegitimize his election victory.
Trump lashed out at Mueller’s team over the weekend, as well as former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI Director James Comey, raising fresh speculation that the President could seek to fire Mueller. The White House publicly denied Sunday that Trump would do so.
Trump has previously accused Mueller’s investigative team as being politically biased, pointing to some of the lawyers who have donated to Democrats over the years.
