President Donald Trump, in his first interview since the end of Robert Mueller’s investigation, reiterated on Wednesday that the special counsel’s inquiry was unnecessary and that the focus of public suspicion should have been on the other side.
Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump attacked Mueller’s team as being populated by Hillary Clinton supporters and part of a greater Democratic smear campaign against him
“I will tell you this about Russia,” the president told Hannity live over the phone. “If they had anything on me, it would have come out a long time ago.”
“You look at all of the different things, Russia would’ve much rather had Hillary than Donald Trump. I can tell you that right now,” Trump told Hannity.
