Trump Slams Witch Hunt: 'They're Entrapping People For Misstatements - Democrat Scam'

    President Donald Trump took to Twitter to blast the special counsel investigation. "'It looks here as though General Flynn’s defenses are incidental to something larger which is for the prosecution to figure out if it can find a path to Donald Trump without quite knowing what that crime might be,'" Trump wrote.

   "'It stops looking like prosecution and more looking like a persecution of the President.' Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal, Thank you, people are starting to see and understand what this Witch Hunt is all about," Trump continued.

   "Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started in the first place! The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, started as the “insurance policy” long before I even got elected, is very bad for our Country. They are Entrapping people for misstatements, lies or unrelated things that took place many years ago. Nothing to do with Collusion. A Democrat Scam," Trump added.

   According to the Washington Free Beacon, "The special counsel investigation into the 2016 election has cost taxpayers over $25 million and counting.”

   This includes an additional $580,098 for travel, $2.8 million in compensation and benefits, $942,787 for utilities and rent, and $310,732 on contractual services. What shocks many, is that only $3,906,000 was used on the Russia investigation.

  Trump commented on the costs back in May, writing, "At what point does this soon to be $20,000,000 Witch Hunt, composed of 13 Angry and Heavily Conflicted Democrats and two people who have worked for Obama for 8 years, STOP," Trump wrote.

​   "They have found no Collusion with Russia, No Obstruction, but they aren’t looking at the corruption," Trump added.
