Trump says ‘witch hunt’ must end as Mueller prepares to file report
US President Donald Trump has condemned an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion between his 2016 election campaign and Russia as a “witch hunt” in a new tweet, calling for it to end amid reports that it is coming to a close.
“Highly respected Senator Richard Burr, head of Senate Intelligence, said, after interviewing over 200 witnesses and studying over 2 million pages of documents, ‘WE HAVE FOUND NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA.’ The Witch Hunt, so bad for our Country, must end!” Trump tweeted on Friday.

Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said recently that the panel has not found evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential.
According to reports, Mueller could file his report on his investigation with the Department of Justice next week. Trump announced in November that his personal legal team would compile a “major Counter Report” to Mueller’s findings.
Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion and has long called for end to the probe. Moscow has also denied any interference in US elections.
“After two years and millions of pages of documents (and a cost of over $30 million) no collusion!” Trump tweeted in December.
In another previous tweet Trump had called the probe the “greatest witch hunt” in the US history. "This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.”
