President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused former special counsel Robert Mueller of committing a crime, ..., by deleting certain text messages sent between two former FBI officials who had been critical of Trump during his 2016 campaign. “[Mueller] terminated all the stuff between Strzok and Page,” Trump told Maria Bartiromo, the host of Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” in a wide-ranging phone interview. “He terminated them. They’re gone. And that’s illegal. That’s a crime.”

In a repeat line of attack against the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Trump scoffed at Mueller, who he said was “obviously not a Trump fan.” The president also didn’t stray from his stance that there was “no obstruction.” “It never ends. We had no obstruction, we had no collusion,” Trump told Maria Bartiromo, the host of Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” in a wide-ranging phone interview. “It’s hard to have obstruction when you have no crime. … You didn’t have crime. You had crime on the other side.” Trump has continued to deride the probe as a “witch hunt,” while Democrats have long accused the president of obstructing justice and thwarting their investigations.
