"The [inspector general] Report totally destroys James Comey and all of his minions including the great lovers, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who started the disgraceful Witch Hunt against so many innocent people. It will go down as a dark and dangerous period in American History!" Trump tweeted.

The FBI's inspector general released a report this week that revealed previously unreported text messages between Strzok and Page while the two worked on the investigation, in which Strzok assured Page that the investigation would "stop" Trump from becoming president.

The report concluded that their political opinions did not directly influence the investigations they worked on.

Trump has since attacked the report, claiming that its conclusion was "ridiculous" and that it revealed further bias against the president in the Justice Department.

“The end result was wrong. I mean, there was total bias,” Trump said of the report in an interview on the White House lawn.

“I think that the report yesterday — maybe more importantly than anything — it totally exonerates me. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. And if you read the report, you’ll see that,” Trump said.

The Russia investigation began in July 2016, according to Comey, and is currently being overseen by Mueller.
