President Trump has been described by advisers and confidents as angry over the probe into possible ties between his campaign and Russia, yelling at television sets at the White House with coverage of the probe, according to an Associated Press report Friday.
Trump has been insisting that he is the target of a conspiracy to discredit and possibly end his presidency, according to the report.
The president has publicly lamented the Russia probe in recent tweets, calling it a “witch hunt” in various tweets.

Trump has also apparently expressed frustration with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the person who appointed the special counsel last month to lead the Russia probe following Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
Trump said Friday that he was under investigation over his firing of Comey, saying he was being investigated “by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director.”
Rosenstein privately acknowledged that he may need to recuse himself from the investigation, sources told ABC News this week.
