WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is intensifying his efforts to discredit a highly anticipated report on the special counsel’s Russia investigation.
In an interview with Fox Business Network to be aired Friday, Trump said: “I have a deputy, appoints a man to write a report on me, to make a determination on my presidency. People will not stand for it.”
Trump’s comments came as special counsel Robert Mueller is expected to soon deliver a report to the Justice Department on his investigation into Russian election meddling.
Trump complained about Mueller’s appointment, calling him a “best friend” to James Comey, who succeeded Mueller as FBI director. Trump fired Comey while he was leading an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. There’s no evidence the two are close friends.
He really has me confused now… then why he ordered his congressmen to vote for its release?
People will not stand for it! Then I guess he wants them to take a knee. Just my opinion.
"People will not stand for it.”
That’s true – most of us will need to be sitting down, with alcohol handy.
Desperate nonsensical rantings devoid of logic or truth.
People on TV always talk about the impact of the Mueller report in civilized lawyer terms - will there be sealed indictments to toll the statute of limitations, that kind of thing. My spidey sense is that’s not where it will be litigated, it’ll be in the streets and more people will die. I’d love to be proved wrong, but it’s hard to see how else to read statements like this by Trump.
