‘Phony Story”
Twelve hours after The Washington Post broke the news Special Counsel Robert Mueller is conducting a criminal investigation of President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, President Donald Trump posted an angry tweet – not denying the allegation, but confirming it.

“They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice,” he tweeted.

Wednesday night the White House used these talking points, calling the news an illegal leak.
