The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.President Donald Trump on Friday continued to claim there was"no collusion" between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia as Washington braces for special counsel Robert Mueller's highly anticipated report.
Trump noted that he did not know when Mueller would submit his report when asked if the report would be submitted on Friday. Recent high-profile departures from the special counsel's office, including top prosecutor Andrew Weissmann and top FBI investigator David Archey, has led to public speculation that Mueller is nearing the end of his investigation.Mueller is required to submit the report to Barr at the conclusion of his investigation into Russian election interference and Trump.
"It's just a continuation of the same witch hunt," he said, referring to Mueller's probe."They know it and behind closed doors, they laugh at it...they ought to go to work, get infrastructure done and get a lot of other things done instead of wasting everybody's time."
