In the face of rising pressure from Capitol Hill, the U.S. Justice Department named former FBI Director Robert Mueller on Wednesday as special counsel to investigate alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
Trump said in a statement that “a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know, there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity.”
In a pair of Twitter posts on Thursday morning, Trump made clear he was unhappy with the latest development to roil his administration.
“With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign and Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel appointed!” Trump wrote, misspelling the word counsel as he referred to former President Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!”
Russia has since denied U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that it interfered in the election campaign to try to tilt the vote in Trump’s favour.
