Trump's America

Donald Trump claims opponents are trying to take him out with 'bullshit'.

US President Donald Trump has attacked special counsel Robert Mueller ahead of his report on alleged Russia collusion by the Trump campaign in 2016 and said his political opponents were "trying to take me out with bullshit".

In a speech that lasted more than two hours — his longest since taking office two years ago — Mr Trump also vented about Democrats, a proposed "green new deal", illegal immigrants, and criticism of his North Korea summit, while voicing optimism about his own re-election prospects in 2020.

Addressing a cheering audience at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Mr Trump veered off script to launch a tirade about events that led to the Russia investigation.

He mocked his former attorney-general, Jeff Sessions, and former FBI director James Comey, both of whom Mr Trump fired."We're waiting for a report by people who weren't elected," Mr Trump said of the Mueller report, which is widely expected to be handed over to Attorney-General William Barr in the coming days.Deputy attorney-general Rod Rosenstein appointed Mr Mueller in May 2017 to take over the Russia investigation after Mr Trump fired Mr Comey, whose agency had led the probe initially. Mr Rosenstein is expected to step down by mid-March.
