President Trump told the New York Times that he had absolute control over the Justice Department and that special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe should wrap up quickly because it is making the country look “very bad.”
Said Trump: “There’s been no collusion. But I think he’s going to be fair.”
He added: “It makes the country look very bad, and it puts the country in a very bad position. So the sooner it’s worked out, the better it is for the country.”
