President Trump said Democrats and Russia are laughing at the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election interference in a Sunday afternoon tweet, saying it is a “witch hunt” that is taking hold as an excuse for losing an election.

“As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!” Trump tweeted.
