years. it s something he s been chomping at the bit to do and his aides have raeigned him pac. he said, i m the president of the united states i m going to do it. i want to talk about the president has said about russia this morning. if we can put this tweet back up on the screen because i think it is interesting. why did the obama administration start an investigation into the trump campaign with zero proof long before the election in november? wanted to discredit so crooked h would win. let s take just that part, susan page. we ve learned a lot in the last few weeks because of the republican memo and the democratic response. the fbi started this investigation because george papadopoulos who was working for the campaign was bragging about the fact that the russians were promising him e-mails essentially and then there s carter page who was known to have some dallances with the russians in the past. that s where it all started. hasn t that been answered already? in some ways the pres
clear that it is getting under the president s skin. and we have seen this before, jeff bennett. we have seen. we know the president is following all of this very carefully. have we gotten any reaction to this point? reporter: he s certainly following this very carefully, and his annoyance is reflected on his twitter feed. here is the president s latest tweet about all of this. why did the obama administration start an investigation into the trump campaign with zero proof of wrongdoing long before the election in november? wanted to discredit so crooked h meaning hillary clinton would win. unprecedented. bigger than watergate. plus, obama did nothing about russian meddling. now the point he makes about the obama administration doing nothing about russian meddling is debatable but, here again, the president denying the fact that any of his campaign associates colluded with russia or he is obstructing or has obstructed the ongoing investigation into it. one bit of news to mention
that tweet distorting the fbi s mission that id did not follow up properly on a tip about the gunman did not sit well with the survivors of the massacre at stoneman douglas. i ll speak with two of them later tonight. his own national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said the indictment revealed on friday showed incontrovertible prove of russian interference in the election. general mcmaster forgot to say that the results were not impact order changed by the russians, and the only collusion was between russia and crooked h, the dnc, the dems, remember the dirty dossier, uranium speeches, e-mails, the podesta company. friday s indictment did not make a statement either way as to whether the election was impacted. and we won t tart to fact check other claims and buzz words in the rest of the tweet. suffice to say it s not accurate. the president kept going into sunday, taking shots at hillary clinton, adam schiff, ranking member of the house intelligence committee among others.
tweeting. writing, bernie sanders supporters have every right to be apoplectic of the complete theft of the dem primary by crooked hillary. then, i always felt i would be running and winning against bernie sanders, not crooked h without cheating, i was right. he returned to attacking the media for not focussing enough on the democrats in 2016. before taking off, mr. trump promising the trip will be productive. we ll be enlisting the help of a lot of people and countries will see what happens, but i think we re going to have a very successful trip. there is a lot of good will. reporter: but his efforts abroad continue to be overshadowed by issues at home. the special counsel investigation into his campaign s ties to russia has now netted a plea deal and two arrests, including his former campaign chairman paul manafort. and the president, who as late as last week bragged about his impressive memory, claims he does not remember a meeting with former adviser george papadopoulos, who re
investigation and that it has been expanded to him. the newest tweets attacking secretary of state hillary clinton, quote, why is it that hillary clinton s family and dems dealing with russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are? he couldn t leave it at that. crooked h, meaning second clinton, destroyed phones with hammer, bleached e-mails and husband had with ag and they talk about obstruction? these tweets a short time ago, his lawyers probably already had heartburn from the early morning tweets. the president tweeting early this morning they made up a phony collusion with the russian story, found zero proof so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. and you are witnessing the single greatest witch hunt in american political history led by some very bad and conflicted people. the president tweeting a lot, but not answering questions in person. thank you very much, everybody. mr. president, do you believe
