Donald Trump has said “there should be no Mueller report” in a series of tweets denouncing the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“This was an illegal & conflicted investigation in search of a crime. Russian Collusion was nothing more than an excuse by the Democrats for losing an Election that they thought they were going to win.”Since the special counsel’s appointment in May 2017, the president has repeatedly tried to undermine Mr Mueller’s work, casting the probe as a “witch hunt” and proclaiming there was “NO COLLUSION” with Russia.
The US House of Representatives also voted overwhelmingly across party lines for a resolution calling on the Justice Department to make the report public and available to Congress.
