President Trump is leveling a new barrage of attacks on Special Counsel Robert Mueller, charging that the prosecutor is haranguing witnesses in a bid to get “the answers they want.”
Trump charged that Mueller is “highly conflicted” owing to his time in the Obama Administration.
“The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess,” Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday. “They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want.”
“They are a disgrace to our nation and don’t care how many lives they ruin,” he wrote. “These are angry people, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years.”
“They don’t look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side,” he added, and then added, with emphasis: “A TOTAL WITCH HUNTLIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY.”
