Mueller Investigation Was False Narrative - Trump

President Donald Trump said on Monday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe was based on a "false narrative," adding that no US leader should face such an unwarranted, wide-ranging investigation

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th March, 2019) President Donald Trump said on Monday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe was based on a "false narrative," adding that no US leader should face such an unwarranted, wide-ranging investigation.

"What they did, it was a false narrative," Trump told reporters at the White House.

Mueller has concluded his Russia probe and delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr.

On Sunday, the Barr released a four-page summary of the main conclusions of Mueller's 22-month investigation. According to the document, the probe found no proof of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. Mueller, however, maintains that Russia did try to interfere in the election, a claim Russia has repeatedly refuted.

Trump accused those behind the probe of doing "some very evil things" against the United States. He expressed certainty that they would be investigated because of their actions.

"We can never let this happen to another president again," he said.

Earlier on Monday Russia's Foreign Affairs Ministry said Moscow hopes Washington will now officially admit that claims of Russian meddling in the 2016 election are false.

The ministry also noted that the conclusions of Mueller's investigation on the lack of collusion between Trump and Russia "simply could not be different."

Russia has repeatedly offered the United States to discuss professionally all claims related to US election processes, the ministry said.
