Donald Trump is well-known for his rants on Twitter. But this one was different and left people wondering if something was seriously wrong.
In a series of angry tweets from Palm Beach, Florida, Mr Trump laced into those who, under oath, had shared with Mueller their accounts of how Mr Trump tried numerous times to squash or influence the investigation and portrayed the White House as infected by a culture of lies, deceit and deception.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway speaks to reporters outside the White House after the release of the Mueller Report. Picture: Brendan Smialowski/AFPThe attacks were a dramatic departure from the upbeat public face the White House had put on it just 24 hours earlier, when Mr Trump celebrated the report’s findings as full exoneration and his counselor Kellyanne Conway called it “the best day” for Trump’s team since his election.
Mr McGahn recoiled, packed up his office and threatened to resign, fearing the move would trigger a potential crisis akin to the Saturday Night Massacre of firings during the Watergate era. Others whose contemporaneous notes were referenced in the report include former staff secretary Rob Porter and Reince Priebus, Mr Trump’s first chief of staff.
