Trump Explodes Over Mueller Report Cover-Up Claim | Nairalaw

President Donald Trump has reacted angrily to reports members of
Robert Mueller’s investigative team are frustrated that damaging
evidence about the president that they uncovered has not been
revealed.

US newspapers including the New York Times and Washington Post
had carried stories suggesting that those involved in the special
counsel’s probe were unhappy attorney general William Bar had
chosen not to release sections of the full report they believe
could implicate Mr Trump over obstruction of justice
allegations.

But the president appeared to dismiss the reports, even making
the apparently baseless suggestion that the New York Times had “no
legitimate sources”.

“The New York Times had no legitimate sources, which would be
totally illegal, concerning the Mueller Report,” he wrote on
Twitter.

He continued: “In fact, they probably had no sources at all!
They are a Fake Newspaper who have already been forced to apologise
for their incorrect and very bad reporting on me!”

It is not clear what laws Mr Trump believes the New York Times
could have violated in their reporting, or if he has any idea who
the sources from the Mueller investigation were. It is also unclear
how he would know that the reporters “had no sources at all” in
reference to the story.
