President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared that the dramatic probe into links between his election campaign and Russia amounted to ‘treason’.
“We can never allow this treasonous — these treasonous acts to happen to another president. This was an attempted takeover of our government, of our country, an illegal takeover,” he told long-favored Fox interviewer Sean Hannity. “You’d have 100 people in jail right now and it would be treason. It would be considered treason and they would be in jail for the rest of their lives,” he said.
Mueller was tasked with investigating the scope of Russian meddling in the election and whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Moscow. In addition, Mueller was looking into whether Trump obstructed justice through his often highly public opposition to the probe.
