President Trump responded to the impending release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report Thursday morning with a bevy of tweets calling the Russia investigation a politically motivated hit job.
“The Greatest Political Hoax of all time! Crimes were committed by Crooked, Dirty Cops and DNC/The Democrats,” Trump said in one tweet.
