President Trump claimed many law firms want to represent him in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election amid reports of drama on his legal team.

One of Trump’s top lawyers, John Dowd, resigned last week from the probe just days after saying he thought Mueller should end his investigation. Reports from Trump’s legal team suggest a new lawyer he was going to hire for the team, Joseph DiGenova, may not actually join the team after meeting with other lawyers Trump has hired.

Trump denied all those reports and said lawyers, due to the fame and fortune associated with the case, couldn’t resist.

“Many lawyers and top law firms want to represent me in the Russia case...don’t believe the Fake News narrative that it is hard to find a lawyer who wants to take this on. Fame & fortune will NEVER be turned down by a lawyer, though some are conflicted,” Trump tweeted.

“Problem is that a new lawyer or law firm will take months to get up to speed (if for no other reason than they can bill more), which is unfair to our great country - and I am very happy with my existing team. Besides, there was NO COLLUSION with Russia, except by Crooked Hillary and the Dems!”

Trump has been signaling that he’s unhappy with Mueller’s investigation continuing in tweets during the last week. People close to the president suggest he’s frustrated with the probe because it hasn’t found any evidence he and his campaign colluded with the Russian government, and yet it still goes on.

Trump also took a moment to praise Lt. Col. Arnaud Beltrame, a French police officer who was killed in a supermarket attack by terrorists in southen France.

Beltrame offered to replace one of the hostages they had taken and the terrorists then shot him multiple times. He eventually died from his wounds.

“France honors a great hero. Officer died after bravely swapping places with hostage in ISIS related terror attack. So much bravery around the world constantly fighting radical Islamic terrorism. Even stronger measures needed, especially at borders!” Trump tweeted.
