Trump slams special counsel, drawing lawmakers’ warnings
WASHINGTON — President Trump took out his frustrations over the intensifying Russia investigation Sunday by lashing out at Special Counsel Robert Mueller, signaling a possible shift from a strategy of cooperating with a probe he believes is biased against him.
In a series of weekend tweets naming Mueller for the first time, Trump criticized the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and raised fresh concerns about the objectivity and political leanings of the members of Mueller’s team.
Trump also challenged the honesty of Andrew McCabe, the newly fired FBI deputy director, and James Comey, the bureau’s former director whom Trump fired last year over the Russia probe.
