President Trump on Tuesday accused special counsel Robert Mueller of meddling in the upcoming 2018 midterm election by keeping alive his Russian "witch hunt," with a investigatory staff that's mostly made up of Democrats.

“The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!” Trump tweeted.

His mention of 13 Democrats is an apparent reference to reports that 13 of Mueller's 17 investigators are Democrats.

Trump also recommended that instead of focusing on investigating possible collusion between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia, the president believes the “13 Angry Democrats” should be looking into Hillary Clinton's campaign.

“Why aren’t the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton,” Trump posted to Twitter Tuesday. “It’s a Rigged Witch Hunt, that’s why! Ask them if they enjoyed her after election celebration!”

After a few of these tweets, Trump said he wants to refocus his attention on the issues America is facing, like North Korea’s nuclear capabilities and negotiating a fair trade deal with China, rather than spend all his time worrying about the "Rigged Russia Witch Hunt."

“Sorry, I’ve got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc.”
