President Trump attacked Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation again on Monday, referencing unspecified, alleged conflicts of interest and wondering why investigators have not interviewed hundreds of allies and associates who, he says, had no contacts with Russians during his campaign.
“Will he be putting in statements from hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period?” Trump wrote. “So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be). There was NO Collusion & Mueller knows it!”
The tweets follow Trump’s submission last week of written answers to Mueller about his knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Prior to doing so, Trump told reporters that he had answered the questions “very easily.”
With the midterm elections now over, Mueller faces key decision points in his 18-month-old investigation into Russian interference in the campaign — a probe that has led to charges against 32 people, including 26 Russians. Four aides to Trump have pleaded guilty to various charges, most recently former campaign chairman Paul Manafort in September.
On November 15th, Mueller and Manafort's lawyers filed a request to delay a joint status report submission by ten days, designating today – November 26th – the new date by which they would be able to provide the court with more valuable information.
