On Friday, President Donald Trump slammed his former attorney Michael Cohen via Twitter, stating that he is “making up stories,” reports The Hill.
An Overview of the President’s Statements
The president released a series of critical tweets on Friday morning, which read as follows:
Arrived back in Washington last night from a very emotional reopening of a major U.S. Steel plant in Granite City, Illinois, only to be greeted with the ridiculous news that the highly conflicted Robert Mueller and his gang of 13 Angry Democrats obviously cannot find Collusion…

….,the only Collusion with Russia was with the Democrats, so now they are looking at my Tweets (along with 53 million other people) – the rigged Witch Hunt continues! How stupid and unfair to our Country….And so the Fake News doesn’t waste my time with dumb questions, NO,….

…..I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!

Cohen’s claim that then-candidate Trump knew of his eldest son’s plan to meet with Russians at Trump Tower in 2016 directly relates to the ongoing Russia investigation. Special counsel Robert Mueller is currently looking into whether the president and his team colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Since its inception, the Russia probe has been a highly controversial matter. Trump and his supporters have frequently labeled the investigation as a “hoax” and “witch hunt.” However, others have suggested that the Russia probe may eventually result in Trump’s impeachment and incarceration.
