Trump’s Friday morning tweets are the surest signs that the president will remain fixated on Mueller's report and that his aides were justified in being concerned about retaliation
A day after claiming that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report had vindicated him, President Donald Trump was in a foul mood about Mueller’s detailed findings, lashing out at the Russia investigator and fuming about aides who cooperated with him.
after nearly two years, sat for roughly 30 hours of interviews with Mueller’s team and he plays a starring role in the report for his efforts to stop Trump from crossing the line into obstructing justice. One Friday morning headline capturing the capital’s post-Mueller consensusthat McGahn had “saved Trump from himself” — a conclusion bound to irk a news-obsessed president who resents suggestions that his aides control him.
That revelation came as a shock to some of those who spoke to the special counsel’s team, some of whom told POLITICO they did not realize their interviews would be recounted in such detail in the report for public consumption. The president's reaction also frustrated Trump associates who privately noted that they had little choice but to comply with Mueller's requests for information — and who they stressed that the White House gave them permission to participate.
Trump’s missives, sent as he kicked off Easter weekend at Mar-A-Lago, are signs that he will brood over the weekend over the report’s many damaging revelations. They also suggest thatamong his current and former aides that the report might prompt him to seek retribution were well-founded.
