NEW: Pres. Trump repeats unsubstantiated claims that efforts by law enforcement to investigate his campaign's possible ties to Russia were part of a 'coup.'
President Donald Trump on Monday repeated unsubstantiated claims that efforts by law enforcement to investigate the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia were part of a"coup."
The president also attacked the FBI as having"no leadership," an insult aimed at FBI Director Chris Wray, whom Trump nominated to replace former FBI Director James Comey. Wray testified before Congress last week that he wouldn't use the word"spying" to describe the bureau's investigative activity.Wray's comments stood in contrast to Attorney General William Barr's, who told Congress in April that he thought"spying did occur.
“I want to talk about the origin of the investigation to reassure the American people that it was done for lawful legitimate reasons and was apolitical throughout in my experience,” Baker said in an interview with Lawfare’s Benjamin Wittes.
