Trump: Russia Investigation Is Witch Hunt That 'Hurts The Country'

U.S. President Donald Trump said the appointment of a special counsel in the investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia is part of a “witch hunt”. Trump was reacting to the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller to lead the investigation after he fired FBI Director James Comey. Speaking to reporters on May 18 in Washington, D.C., Trump said the investigation "divides the country". (AP)
