Trump Once Again Attacks Russia Investigation And The Media

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — President Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on the special counsel's Russia investigation and — as usual — the news media, and reiterated that he did not know about the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Trump, who is on a working vacation at his golf club in New Jersey, ripped two of his favorite targets Sunday morning in a series of searing tweets.

He defended calling the media "The Enemy of the People," and said journalists "purposely cause great division & distrust" and can "cause War!"

Trump then particularly went after recent reporting about Robert Mueller's probe into possible links between his campaign and Russian officials, particularly stories on how he may be concerned about his eldest son's legal exposure.

Trump once again defended the Trump Tower meeting in which Donald Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer, saying it was "totally legal" and that he didn't know about it.

Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!

...Why aren’t Mueller and the 17 Angry Democrats looking at the meetings concerning the Fake Dossier and all of the lying that went on in the FBI and DOJ? This is the most one sided Witch Hunt in the history of our country. Fortunately, the facts are all coming out, and fast!

Too bad a large portion of the Media refuses to report the lies and corruption having to do with the Rigged Witch Hunt - but that is why we call them FAKE NEWS!
