President Donald Trump accused Robert Mueller of “threatening” witnesses to cooperate in the probe into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election, one day after the Senate’s Republican leader blocked a bid to protect the special counsel’s work.
“The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts,” Trump said on Twitter Thursday. “They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want.”
