President Donald Trump said he’s “so proud” of Attorney General William Barr over his decision to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“They want to look at how the whole hoax got started,” Trump said Tuesday as he departed the White House for an event in Louisiana. “I am so proud of our attorney general that he is looking into it. I think it’s great.”
