Trump Blasts FBI Raid on His Lawyer’s Office

April 9, 2018 · 6:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump “blasted the FBI’s raid of his personal lawyer’s office, calling it a disgraceful situation and an attack on the U.S.,” Axios reports.

Said Trump: “It’s a total witch hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time. I’ve wanted to keep it down. I’ve given over a million pages in documents to the special counsel.”

He added: “This is the most biased group of people. These people have the biggest conflicts of interest I have ever seen… Either Democrats or a couple of Republicans who worked for President Obama. They’re not looking at the other side — Hillary Clinton… They only keep looking at us. ”

Trump also criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation: “He made what I consider to be a very terrible mistake for the country. But you’ll figure that out.”
