The spokesman for President Trump’s new personal legal team had used Twitter to frequently criticize people around Trump and praise special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a Monday report.

The New York Times compiled multiple instances in which Mark Corallo, the spokesman for Trump’s personal legal team handling the Russia investigation, used the social network to level criticism against the Trump White House.

“Hey Mr. President, where's all the ‘winning?’” Corallo tweeted last month, appearing to reference former President Bill Clinton William (Bill) Jefferson ClintonHarris: Ginsburg 'absolutely' cleared the path for me Anxious Democrats amp up pressure for vote on COVID-19 aid Barr's Russia investigator has put some focus on Clinton Foundation: report MORE.

Hey Mr. President, where's all the "winning?" Or, like the guy from AR, are you going to tell me it depends on the definition of "winning?" — Mark Corallo (@MarkCorallo1) May 2, 2017

In another May tweet, Corallo heaped praise the selection of Mueller as special counsel to oversee the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Bob is the best. Period. If the facts merit, he'll recommend charging. More importantly, if there's nothing there, he won't. https://t.co/KCoIQG458s — Mark Corallo (@MarkCorallo1) May 18, 2017

He also used Twitter to criticize Trump’s reliance on son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner, calling Kushner part of the “swamp” Trump promised to drain.

Dear Mr. President, this is worse than just "bad optics." It's sleazy. You could start draining the swamp by removing your in-laws. https://t.co/7g759PHQSL — Mark Corallo (@MarkCorallo1) May 7, 2017

In an emailed statement to The Times, Corallo defended his tweets, saying they show he is not a “yes-man.”

“I have not been shy about expressing my admiration and support for President Trump. I hold him and his family in the highest esteem both personally and professionally,” Corallo said. “I have never been shy about expressing my opinions as a private citizen. I am not a ‘yes man,’ and the fact that I may have been critical of the administration on a few occasions is proof of that.”

The report comes the day after a member of Trump’s legal team, Jay Sekulow, held combative interviews on multiple Sunday news shows, at one point accusing Fox News’s Chris Wallace of “putting words in [his] mouth” and emphasizing that Trump is not under investigation for obstruction of justice, despite Trump tweeting that he was.
