Trump, who did not mention the Russia probe directly, tweeted Thursday about 'The Greatest Political Hoax of all time!'
President Donald Trump lashed out at"Crooked, Dirty Cops" and the Democratic National Committee in a series of heated tweets Thursday ahead of Attorney General William Barr's press conference on special counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited Russia report.
Trump TWEET The Greatest Political Hoax of all time! Crimes were committed by Crooked, Dirty Cops and DNC/The Democrats. Democrats, including House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York, have criticized that timing, accusing Trump's recently appointed attorney general of attempting to establish a narrative about the findings in the report.In a four-page letter last month, Barr said that Mueller did not find sufficient evidence of a conspiracy between Trump's campaign and the Kremlin. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein also concluded that Trump did not illegally obstruct justice.
Barr will also talk about the process officials followed when redacting certain portions of the report for a public release. Questions about what will be redacted have become especially controversial on Capitol Hill, as some Democratic leaders continue to demand that Barr provide for them the full, unredacted report along with all of its underlying evidence.
