'I think we need somebody like a Mueller to like at the other side,' Sen. Lindsey Graham tells ABC News. 'What are the rules of a counterintelligence investigation when it comes to a presidential campaign? Are there any?'

on Wednesday blasted special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation as an “attempted coup” that failed and praised Attorney General William Barr for saying he is investigating how the probe began -- a move congressional Republicans have long advocated.

Trump also blasted what he called the "haters of Trump" and "dirty cops" and bad people" who worked on the investigation but, according to him, still found no evidence of the campaign colluding with Russia to influence the presidential election. “As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about the Mueller report. I've been totally exonerated. No collusion, no obstruction,” Trump said. “I am not worrying about something that never, ever should have taken place."
