Trump: Mueller team will be meddling in midterms

President Trump suggested on Tuesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators is planning to meddle in this year’s midterm elections and urged Republican lawmakers to “stay tough” in the coming months.

“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,” Trump tweeted.

“There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!” he added.

Trump’s tweet is the latest in a series of posts lashing out at investigators — whom he has dubbed the “13 Angry Democrats” — examining possible collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. 

Trump has repeatedly insisted that the special counsel investigation and those working on it are biased against him and that the probe amounts to a partisan effort to undermine and discredit his presidency. 

He has also repeatedly asserted that his former Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, should be under investigation instead of him — a claim he repeated in another Tuesday morning tweet.
