Deeply aggrieved at the Mueller probe into ties between his campaign and Russia, President Trump is pushing for the appointment of special counsels to investigate his baseless allegations of voter fraud and allegations surrounding Hunter Biden, sources say

Trump has raised the idea in meetings with advisers, and has gone as far as asking for names of potential appointees to the special counsel positions, according to one of the people briefed on Trump's conversations.

Trump tweets about Bill Barr's departure from White House 01:31Ultimately, White House counsel Pat Cipollone brought the President and Barr together for a meeting on Monday that resulted in Barr submitting his resignation. Sources described the meeting as cordial, despite Trump's anger, and the President tweeted afterward his relationship with Barr was"very good.

Barr appoints Durham as special counsel for investigation 02:50Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham said Wednesday he has not spoken with Trump about appointing a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, but said he thinks it is a"good idea." The South Carolina Republican said he believed a potential special counsel should look into not just allegations related to Biden's taxes, but also his business dealings with other countries, including China and Ukraine.

Why do you keep saying “baseless”? I’m not sure you know what that means, as I’ve seen video, audio, affidavits, and forensic audits of voter machines, all showing objective evidence of voter fraud nationally.

And all this from the guy who says Biden has cognition issues. Trumpery is batshit.

they are far from baseless

Trump whole life is one big conspiracy. He investigate my old great aunt Broombones, because Trump was told that she loved him.

Narcissistic! need to probe to see if he ever had or still have a brain and he need to be checking on his own offsprings because as sure as he leaves the house someone will be digging up all the dirt he and his ppl have done Hunter wasn't on the ballot our President is Joe Biden

Tosser

Voter fraud is not baseless. It is real. There are legions of judges who refuse to weigh in on favoring court decisions favoring admitting voter fraud because they value their families and lives.

stop giving him airtime and this entire madness stops

THIS IS WHAT 'EVIL INCARNATE' LOOKS LIKE.

This impeached, incompetent loser is focused on undermining our democracy. There is no voter fraud, but his ridiculous ranting incites violence & hate. 300,000+ Americans dead, losing jobs, businesses, homes. He doesn’t care. But now he is history, we don’t care about him.

WELL HE BETTER NOT BE!!! TRUMP/PENCE 2020!!! 😊❤️🌈

Excellent ideas.

SoreLosers GetOutOfOurWhiteHouse TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpTheFool TrumpCrimeFamily

Are you trying to say the allegations against Hunter Biden are baseless? That is what's wrong today, you in the media won't give the people open, honest and factual information. The fraud was and is being commited by the media.

This is one sick person.

GTFO of our Whitehouse already. Hunter is not president. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is an abuse of power. Trump is using DOJ like his personal law firm. DOJ is funded by tax; not Trump's money!

Hilarious, Trump thinks he is an investigator. He's a hotel owner... go back to doing that, and good luck keeping them open during COVID, without getting your gov't benefits the next year or two. trash

Unstable and unpredictable

Baseless allegations of Mueller probe into ties between his campaign and Russia or collusion 4 that matter lol

My 10yr old gran son has a far far bigger wave with his hand and he's more of a gentleman than Twice a Boy/never once a man . For real ,my gran son says!!!!!

But then again its Biden the one that is being accused of a rigged election,and its in the WH were there are lies and cheating things happening rite now. That's where there should be a Terrill investigation.

An angry man has lil hands an lil hands makes an angry man an that angry man has to drink a small bottle of water using two lil hands. 🙌.

Let’s finally get the truth!

He is afraid of going to jail, because of his upcoming lawsuits.

Trumps just trying to get at joe biden because trump lost the election. Pure and simple revenge and he's acting just like a child.

Hunter is not President.

People are dying, suffering and need immediate assistance. For the sakes of our country, find some compassion and spend the remaining days serving your country instead.

MRPresident Why would you want to open a special investigation into PresidentElectJoeBiden son Hunter? When there already is an investigation out of your control ongoing as I write.

Typical comments from CNN

Doesn’t matter Hunter Biden is not the president and his dad can pardon him just like Trump is trying to do with his kids

Just do a little digging of all the Trump children, will easily find a lot

Don’t waste tax payers money for investigation, stop being vindictivetrump

The MSM did all they can to hide the criminal activity of the Biden crime family from the public there needs to be a 'special counsel' to look how deep it went!

I think Biden should appoint Mueller again to finish his investigation.

Hmmm he is the one indebted to Russia not Biden.

It is entirely possible that all of them, on both sides, are corrupt.

Oh yes... you did not cover the senate hearing today if so you can report now something indeed was fishy !

Trump is a waste of a president

This whinny deflection from serious health crisis should be ignored or ridiculed only. 45 is too lame a duck and unhinged to remain newsworthy.

Basless

God he is like a broken record. Will someone please tell him,People in glass houses should not trough stones.

I think he’s close to snapping - keep up the pressure ..

Oh how cute, the little DNC cheerleaders are at it again. Have y’all gotten your cute little cheerleader outfits yet? 52% of the nations voters believes this was a fraudulent election. Baseless my ass.

Hunter Biden no longer gets a pass for being a crack head, pervert, or an unqualified Burisma Board Member because Joe Biden is proud of him. It is time for CNN and other biased media to do their job and report the facts to the public.

There can’t be a group of human beings with lower levels of information and who are as willfully ignorant as Biden voters.

They are NOT baseless! Hundreds, maybe more, people came forward with sworn testimonies claiming MANY types of cheating. AND MORE! It’s unbelievable that they are getting away with it.

baseless allegations ? After going true four years of baseless allegations CNN has the nerve to accuse the president of baseless allegations

Its only fair no?

Vindictiveness and vengeance is his full time pre-occupation! He did not do anything for the common folks and allowed over 300k people to die needlessly. The worst president in the history of America!

'Baseless allegations'. No, 'lies'.

Only if there is a machine, lets called it a “computer”. And voters can access via a website, say county clerk, and enter their SS to see if their votes were accepted. Only if that’s is possible...

First rule idiots need to learn when they find themselves in a deep hole of their own doing is, STOP DIGGING!

This man is a petulant brat. Isn’t it about time he grows up or someone shows him what it feels like to be bullied?!?

Damn, when is he just going to say he has bilked enough out of his clueless base and move on. What a sorry excuse of a president.

So, we've gotten to the point where 'President pushing for special investigations into his political rivals' isn't even a big deal. Trump really has boiled the corruption frog slowly enough that it hasn't jumped out of the pot.

Baseless you must be kidding. and mainstream medias you are the only one to believe that Jo who stayed in his basement got 80M votes. Dominion & special delivery of mail in ballots WE in the world know it ‼️

The man is making me sick.... 🤮🤮

Play another record. Losers just wont give up. Biden won Over 81 million voters rejected Trump

just let him have the counsels so he can lose AGAIN.

lol...realDonaldTrump's 2020 election loss, his baseless election fraud conspiracy lawsuits he's lost, is eating him alive.

He has lost the plot. Man needs medication or else be locked up for the good of the people. He is one bitter man

Think carefully here. Special counsels go off course when aware of criminal activity. An investigation into voter fraud could turn to voter suppression to misuse of government fund and so forth. It would only be a fool to have a special counsel appointed just before leaving WH

TrumpYouReFired2020

Y don’t he just leave early and go sit down dementia is really taking hold

Baseless!!!!!!!

After all the evidence that has been revealed, it’s considered ABUSIVE to the American Public that CNNLies & labels allegations of voter fraud “baseless”. You sound like Holocaust deniers at this point. The Holocaust happened and the election was stolen from realDonaldTrump

i wouldnt complain if something happens to ur studio wish blm or antfa would turn on u guys and let u feel how u all treat the republicans

Can we please go at least one day without hearing or reading about the name Trump. It would be appreciated by our collective blood pressures and probably piss LoserDon off.

He is gone crazy and lost his mental stability.

He looks like a toad

I would like to think it would be easy to forget this ding dong. But unfortunately all the crap he pulled the last four years will not make that easy.

Trump simply can’t accept he is a Loser. 80 million Americans voted Biden and Harris in. Trump is embarrassin the USA, himself, the GOP and his family by the continuing lies and baseless accusations. An Interested Australian observer from Covid Free Melbourne ..... John

You going to jail soon loser

86% of all media coverage the last 4 years was based on biased coverage blasting Trump. What the hell is the media going to report on over the next 4 years if Biden’s administration takes control?

Can’t really say “baseless” once it was PROVEN that dead people voted, some people voted twice and Trump votes were found in ditches and dumpsters. JS

If we are waiting for “someone” to step up and stop this madness, now would be a good time. He seriously might blow something up.

When the MSM has to echo chamber the word “Baseless” you know they are lying

Bye bye

Isn’t this a ploy to try to negotiate investigations and possible charges against Ivanka and her brothers to be dropped?

It’s hard to believe that there are many who are not sick of hearing his voice and seeing his face.

PRESIDENT USES GOVERNMENT ASSETS AS PERSONAL TOOLBOX- AGAIN.

Baseless? Please

Just a FEW of 45’s CRIMINAL acts..Sedition-a serious felony punishable up to 20 years in prison-inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. & CRIMES against HUMANITY-preventable COVID death & caged kids, RAPE.... etc

fake

Trump's next investigation. State crimes,300,000+ MURDERED, 2nd degree murder is generally defined as intentional murder that lacks premeditation, is intended to only cause bodily harm, and demonstrates an extreme indifference to human life.

This is silly Trump is in bed with China 🇨🇳 as well. Just one of many example Trump is in debt up to 340 million dollars to Deutsche Bank 🏦, Chinese firm owns a percentage of Deutsche Bank 🏦... that’s just one example of how he’s mixed up with China.

Couldn’t help but notice that you did not say the baseless allegations against Hunter Biden. Y’all broke that story before the election, right?

someday soon you'll be in jail

“Baseless” “Journalism” fakenews

Don't cry trump wkwk

Hagged Donald.

While we’re appointing special counsels let’s reassure the nation, nay world of our democracy by transparently investigating senatemajldr victory with a 31% approval rating in his own state.

LoL 😂 he just can’t stop

President Biden will dismiss, abolish all of trump's actions. the Republicans led by senator Johnson are supporting trump's lies, false information, accusations and are having political witch hunt tribunals to promote them. Meaning after January 20th Biden will abolish everything

Trump has a lot to lose when it comes to investigating hunter Biden. Trump don’t play with fire you will be a private citizen after January 20. Mr president Biden if he wanted he could investigate trump for all the taxes he hasn’t paid for year and the fake charities

And NYC is doing the same southerners you got played by a NYC slicker him and Giuliani don’t know what happened to Giuliani once he married his cousin down hill

Hunter is not even in politics. Why is he obsessed with him? Asking for some one

Trump truly is a moron. The Justice Dept, under Barr declared the election had no wrong doing, now he wants the Justice Dept to appoint a special counsel to investigate what they already investigated?

putin ESPECIALLY, is UPSET with the election Results. Because it's made MORE Difficult to follow through with his 'hitler agenda'. 'if you Tell a big Enough LIE & Tell it Constantly enough, It will be Believed.' hitler

The claims of voter fraud are not baseless here is a list of people that knowingly voted illegal and a snapshot of exactly 19,958 votes switched from Trump to Biden in 60 sec caught on

The big baby is just lashing out. Sore loser!!

Thank goodness the media doesn't get to decide what's baseless and what's not.

Who are you to say they're 'baseless'?

Such a baby. Poopie pants always make babies cry. I do not to see his face, hear his voice or read about him after Joe Biden is inaugurated.

Good, it needs to happen!!!

A lame vindictive thin skinned Trump...always. This is the legacy he's leaving behind.

Hunter Biden is a private citizen who doesn't deserve the cruel and ongoing abuse from the biggest tax cheat ever to be President*.

The book and mini series will make him millions it not over yet. We will still hear about DT for the next 5-10yrs.he isn't going away anytime soon🥴

Its got to be bad when the conspiracy theorist believes his own conspiracy theories, and the loony tunes keep on coming

At what point does Hunter Biden sue for harassment?

He can do whatever he wants,provided he gets out on January 20,2021

Nothing is baseless until it is proven. Once the margin of error is exceed, you have a right...

Just because you call them baseless doesn’t mean they’re baseless. We’re on to your BS and will NEVER trust you again, period.

Baseless.... that’s funny. You folks at the Cartoon News Network are so naive to think the masses believe what you print. I follow you simply for the laughs. 😂😂😂😂

Trump toddler just can't keep STILL.

This is utter madness at its greatest. Someone need 2 mandate a complete mental evaluation. This is craziness from the White House. The republicans created a monster.

Baseless? Mueller probe was baseless. Might want to fix your headline

Donald, a competent dictator would just send these “enemies of the people” to the eastern front or gulags. Come on at least do dictatorial right. Doh, no eastern front in 2020, fuck. Ok send them to the horrible democratic run cities then. That will show them.

Well, that ought to last about 40 days.

mafiamedia factcheck

“baseless!” Notice they didn’t use that word to describe Hunter ! Corrupt News Network

The guilty trying to turn it around on others - typical. He knows what he faces when he leaves office. His supporters should research 'reputable' resources. Many of us knew what frump has been all his life. Now he's just running another con & you're the targets - keep your money!

Nothing is 'baseless' and it's all relevant... It's not Democrat or Republican....it's all of them WakeUp

This man be remembered as one of the most, pathetic, petty men in American history, and his base will be remembered in much the same way. TrumpCult

Trump is posturing for his base of followers... see we will waste money to still find out there was no fraud and we will punish political rivals. The Russia probe did result in some indictments... Hunter Biden is already under investigation by the DOJ.

I note the inevitable drop in social engagement by Trump Addicts & Q Anon Idiots. Even they find it hard defending Trump’s narcissism. It seems they are now watching OANN / News Max, posting on Parler & then roaming the street threatening people with violence.

Trump you are leaving office in Total Disgrace!

Nada que tú digas CNN TIENE VALOR, por que no eres coherente.

And we need a special Council to investigate the Trump Family! Let’s see who get convicted!

CNN is lying scum period

Abiy is the killer Jawar is our hero. Free Jawar mohammed

Double standards, CNN & MSM LIED ABOUT TRUMP AND RUSSIA. It's time to investigate the investigators. Let's see how corrupt they really are. The public will be sickened by the arrogance and abuse of power. MSM is also the enemy of the people. Section 30 needs to be revoked

Cnn is the Propaganda arm of the dnc. The DOJ is investigating the Biden’s. Liars !!

Cnn uses Baseless word as they know they got caught, it’s so pathetic what these commies are doing to our country, they all got caught & better pray...

Hunter Biden baseless claims. Even a standard too low for CNN.

Uh, why is that first part even there? Such a useless framing device. One is a political hatchet job that wasted millions to discover no fraud, the other is a credible effort to investigate clear signs of corruption and abuse of power. Even AP agrees.

You do know that a book was written that has the Hunter Biden story in it, right?
