President Donald Trump again criticizes the late Sen. John McCain, sparking criticism from the senator's family and others in the political world.
President Donald Trump attacked the late Sen. John McCain in a series of weekend tweets over his role in a dossier that contains unverified claims about the president's ties to Russia.
The criticism started Saturday, when Trump reacted to court documents unsealed last week that shed light on the role of a McCain associate in spreading the dossier. The president has repeatedly slammed the report and wrongly claimed that it directly led to the investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.
"Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier 'is unfortunately a very dark stain against John McCain,'" Trump tweeted , quoting Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated then-President Bill Clinton. In a subsequent tweet Sunday, Trump called McCain"last in his class" at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. He claimed that the late senator and Democrats"working together, failed ."McCain's family members and people across the world of politics slammed Trump's tweets. His daughter Meghan, tweeted Sunday that"my father lives rent free in [Trump's] head.
