TEHRAN, Apr 20 - US President Donald Trump has launched more verbal assaults against Special Counsel Robert Mueller, saying Mueller's recently released report "was written as nastily as possible" by "true Trump haters."
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -In a string of tweets on Saturday morning, Trump called Mueller a "highly conflicted" individual and described his investigation as "the greatest Witch Hunt in US political history."
"Despite the fact that the Mueller Report should not have been authorized in the first place & was written as nastily as possible by 13 (18) Angry Democrats who were true Trump Haters, including highly conflicted Bob Mueller himself, the end result is No Collusion, No Obstruction!" Trump tweeted.
Congressional Democrats have taken a legal step to see all of Mueller’s evidence from his inquiry into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, with some members pushing for the impeachment of Trump just 18 months before the 2020 presidential election.
The redacted edition of the much-anticipated 400-page investigation, covering Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election, as well as Donald Trump and his team’s wrongdoings and possible presidential obstruction of justice, was released in Mueller's report on Thursday.
House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, issued a subpoena on Friday to the Justice Department to release the full Mueller report, and rejected the redacted version that he said “leaves most of Congress in the dark.”
Speaking on Thursday at a media conference at the US Justice Department, US Attorney General William Barr said Mueller did not discover any evidence that Trump’s election campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
He also said the Mueller's two-year investigation did not uncover any evidence that Trump obstructed the special counsel probe.
Trump slammed Mueller on Friday one day after declaring the report cleared him of collusion and obstruction of justice, saying some statements about him in the report "are total bullshit" and denouncing the document as the "Crazy Mueller Report."
Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar have called for an impeachment order against Trump, following the full release of Mueller’s report.
The Congresswomen believe the findings detailed in Mueller’s report contradict Trump’s claims that he has been “totally exonerated” from any criminal wrongdoing.
