President Trump continued to rail at special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation on Sunday claiming that the “Witch Hunt” should never be allowed to happen to another commander-in-chief.
”Think of it. I became President of the United States in one of the most hard fought and consequential elections in the history of our great nation. From long before I ever took office, I was under a sick & unlawful investigation concerning what has become known as the Russian Hoax,” the president wrote in a series of postings early Sunday.
“My campaign was being seriously spied upon by intel agencies and the Democrats. This never happened before in American history, and it all turned out to be a total scam, a Witch Hunt, that yielded No Collusion, No Obstruction. This must never be allowed to happen again!” he said.
Trump’s tweets follow his online performance from Saturday in which he tweeted or retweeted 60 messages about former White House counsel Don McGahn, China trade talks, his tax returns and dangerous drugs coming across the southern border.
On Sunday, he quoted Ed Rollins, a Republican campaign consultant, who appeared on Fox News’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” last week to discuss the congressional investigations into Trump.
“‘The Democrats have nothing. Just want to distract from this President,'” Trump quoted Rollins as saying.
“‘This is a tough President who is willing to have the battle, and we have a great Attorney General who is willing to lead the battle, and they are going to get to the bottom of it,'” the president tweeted.
Trump has been lashing out since Democrats in the House have continued to pursue investigations against him, his administration and his finances, including his taxes, in the aftermath of the Mueller report.
Attorney General William Barr released a redacted version of the report on April 18.
Both Trump and Barr claim it clears the president of collusion and obstruction.
While Mueller wrote that his team didn’t uncover evidence of a criminal conspiracy, they did not exonerate Trump on the obstruction charge and listed 10 instances when the president attempted to obstruct the probe.
The House Judiciary Committee last week voted to hold Barr in contempt after he missed a deadline to release a full, unredacted version to Congress.
Trump has also refused to comply with subpoenas for testimony or information issued as part of the congressional investigations.
