Trump demands to stop investigating his ties with Russia
The President once again criticized the investigation into a possible collusion of his campaign headquarters with Moscow.
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to stop the federal criminal investigation of a deal between Trump's campaign headquarters and Russia.
After a series of tweets criticizing Special Prosecutor Muller’s investigation, Trump wrote: “This is a terrible situation, and attorney General Jeff Sessions must put an end to this fabricated witch hunt immediately before it tarnishes our country. Bob Muller has a clear conflict of interest, and his 17 angry democrats who do the dirty work for him disgrace the USA! ”
In another tweet, Trump called "fake" a trial of the former head of his campaign headquarters, Paul Manafort, trying to distance himself from the process that is taking place near Washington. Manafort is accused of concealing millions of dollars earned by lobbying activities in the interests of the then President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych long before his work at Trump's campaign headquarters.
“Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other prominent and respected politicians,” wrote Trump. - He worked for me very briefly. Why did the government not inform me that an investigation was under way? These old charges have nothing to do with collusion. Fake!".
Attorney General Seshns hasn’t responded to Trump’s call to close the investigations, but reminds Voice of America correspondent Ken BredemayerA year ago, the media reported that he rejected Trump's calls to once again take control of the investigation, from which the Prosecutor General had withdrawn because of his own contacts with the Russian ambassador.
In the third tweet, Trump wrote: "The collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign headquarters, one of the most successful in history, is a complete invention." The president also again blamed Democrats, FBI ex-head James Komi and other intelligence officers for the "witch hunt."
