Trump Panics As Mueller Issues First Indictments, Calls Probe A ‘Witch Hunt’ And Demands Clinton Investigation
President Trump on Sunday took to Twitter to lash out at Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into his campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, calling the probe “phony” and a “witch hunt,” and demanding Republicans launch another investigation into Hillary Clinton one day before Mueller was expected to announce his first indictment.
“Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier,” Trump tweeted.
“Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia ‘collusion,’ which doesn’t exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R’s are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!” Trump tweeted.
The president said Republicans were angry that investigators were focusing on “phony Trump/Russia ‘collusion,’ which doesn’t exist” – rather than the Clinton campaign’s involvement in what he called a “Fake Dossier,” a reference to the infamous, and still unverified, dossier that alleges ties between President Trump and Russia.

Mueller is expected to hand down the first indictment in the Trump-Russia investigation on Monday, according to NBC News.
NBC News cited a U.S. official familiar with the matter in their report.
A federal grand jury in Washington has approved the first criminal charges in the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election interference.
The charges remain sealed by order of a federal judge.
Mueller was appointed in May to lead the federal probe into Trump campaign aides’ ties to Russia after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the investigation at the time.
