President Trump continues his effort to discredit the Mueller report.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is intensifying his efforts to discredit a highly anticipated report on the special counsel’s Russia investigation.

In an interview with Fox Business Network to be aired Friday, Trump said: “I have a deputy, appoints a man to write a report on me, to make a determination on my presidency. People will not stand for it.” Trump’s comments came as special counsel Robert Mueller is expected to soon deliver a report to the Justice Department on his investigation into Russian election meddling.

Trump complained about Mueller’s appointment, calling him a “best friend” to James Comey, who succeeded Mueller as FBI director. Trump fired Comey while he was leading an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. There is no evidence the two are close friends.

Mueller makes history exposing crime spree by former Trump aidesIn a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, examines how despite claims that the Russia probe is a “witch-hunt”, Bob Mueller has proven to be one of the fastest and most effective Special Counsels in U.S. history, racking up indictments at the fastest pace since Watergate. Melber runs through the numerous achievements in the Russia probe, noting that “it’s a lot” and demonstrates how despite Trump’s relatively short period in office, the Mueller probe has seen “the highest rate of indictments for his aides than any President ever”. Former Chief of Staff to Bob Mueller, John Carlin, tells Ari Melber “we should be proud as Americans, but also alarmed at what he’s been able to show us has occurred”.

The Mueller poll Trump is excited about deserves a closer lookDoes half the country really believe the Mueller investigation is a 'witch hunt'? Maybe not. MaddowBlog realDonaldTrump -- Many innocent people died during the original witch hunts -- there are no innocent people involved in Trump's 'witch hunt' charges, just criminals like Trump ... MaddowBlog The only poll that matters is 12 out of 23 grand jurors voting to indict Orange Shitstain. MaddowBlog who else ignores the regular comments and goes right to the shadow ban section?
