President Trump dropped a BOMBSHELL on Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Sunday in a series of tweets. Trump revealed that he and Mueller have had a contentious relationship after a potential business deal went the wrong way for Mueller. This revelation explains the “witch-hunt,” but begs the question – why on earth are Mueller and his biased team even allowed to exist?

President Trump pressured special counsel Robert Mueller to release information regarding alleged conflicts of interest.
“Is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to President Trump, including the fact that we had a very nasty & contentious business relationship, I turned him down to head the FBI (one day before appointment as S.C.) & Comey is his close friend,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets Sunday, referring to himself in the third person.
In May 2017, Mueller was named special counsel, charged with spearheading the federal Russia investigation, by Trump-appointed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the probe. In the wake of Trump’s dramatic firing of former FBI Director James Comey, Mueller did an interview to return as FBI director, having previously served in that position from 2001 to 2013, but was overlooked in favor of Christopher Wray.

The tweet appeared to confirm two of the three conflicts of interest mentioned in a New York Times report from January, which focused on how Trump has ordered the firing of Mueller but ultimately backed off. That report said Trump was concerned about a controversy concerning fees at Trump’s National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., that led to Mueller ending his membership there and Mueller’s interview to be FBI director the day before he was appointed special counsel.

Trump on Sunday also continued to slam Mueller for hiring “Angry Dems” to join his “Rigged Witch Hunt,” based on reports using publicly available voter registration data to identify the past political leanings of prosecutors with the special counsel’s team. Mueller himself, however, is a longtime Republican.
