President Trump went after Democrats early Wednesday, saying they no longer want Carter Page to testify in the investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election.

"So now it is reported that the Democrats, who have excoriated Carter Page about Russia, don't want him to testify," Trump tweeted Wednesday.

"He blows away their case against him & now wants to clear his name by showing 'the false or misleading testimony by James Comey, John Brennan...' Witch Hunt!"

Last week, Page, a former adviser to Trump's campaign, said he would testify before the House Intelligence Committee in early June.

Page, who advised Trump on foreign policy, also said he obtained legal counsel.
