Trump tweets anger over Russia probe 'witch-hunt'

June 18, 2017 19:38

US President Donald Trump has begun his day with a stream of tweets defending his record and lashing out at the investigation into Russian interference in the election.

In the tweets on Sunday, Trump wrote: "The MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN agenda is doing very well despite the distraction of the Witch Hunt".

He continued by saying: "Many new jobs, high business enthusiasm massive regulation cuts, 36 new legislative bills signed, great new S.C.Justice, and Infrastructure, Healthcare and Tax Cuts in works!"

"Witch hunt' is how Trump characterises the probe into Russia's election interference and possible ties to his campaign associates.

His latest comments come after Trump appeared to confirm he is under investigation for obstruction of justice in relation to the Russian meddling probe.

The US president tweeted on Friday morning that he was "being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director".
