Trump Suggests Mueller's Team Is 'Leaking' His Lawyers' Letters To Media
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Saturday suggested that Robert Mueller's team might be "leaking" his lawyers' letters to the media.
President Trump on Saturday again slammed special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's interference in 2016 elections.
"There was No Collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats). When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end? So bad for our Country," Trump tweeted. "Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?"
His tweet comes the day the New York Times released a confidential letter sent by President Trump's personal attorneys to Mueller in January.
The memo addresses the "subjects of alleged collusion and obstruction of justice."
"It remains our position that the President's actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could, if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired," Trump's lawyers assert in the letter.
The president's latest comment on the Russia investigation comes just days after he tweeted, "Sorry, I've got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc." "The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!" Trump wrote in another tweet.
