"The Democrats new and pathetically untrue sound bite is that we are in a 'Constitutional Crisis,'" Trump wrote in multiple tweets. "They and their partner, the Fake News Media, are all told to say this as loud and as often as possible. They are a sad JOKE! We may have the strongest Economy in our history, best employment numbers ever, low taxes & regulations, a rebuilt military & V.A., many great new judges, & so much more."

Trump went on to claim that the real constitutional crisis is "a giant SCAM perpetrated upon our nation, a Witch Hunt, a Treasonous Hoax." The president has often used those terms to describe the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE's investigations into Russia's election interference. He later said the Democrats were acting like "crazed lunatics" in the wake of the Mueller probe's end and that the only constitutional crisis is "the Democrats refusing to work."

Despite two years and millions of dollars spent, the Democrats are acting like crazed lunatics ever since the results of the Mueller Report were made public. But they knew there was NOTHING even before the Report was started. It is all a big Hoax, the biggest in American history! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2019

Ever since the Mueller Report showed No Collusion & No Obstruction, the Dems have been working overtime to damage me and the Republican Party by issuing over 80 demands for documents and testimonies, and with NO REASON. That’s all they want to do - don’t care about anything else! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2019

His tweets come after prominent Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiHoyer: House should vote on COVID-19 aid — with or without a bipartisan deal Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in repose at Supreme Court McCarthy threatens motion to oust Pelosi if she moves forward with impeachment MORE (Calif.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler Jerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerDemocrats shoot down talk of expanding Supreme Court Schumer: 'Nothing is off the table' if GOP moves forward with Ginsburg replacement Top Democrats call for DOJ watchdog to probe Barr over possible 2020 election influence MORE (N.Y.), last week made the assertion that the country is experiencing a constitutional crisis.

"We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it,” Nadler told reporters following the vote.

"Now is the time of testing whether we can keep a republic or whether this republic is destined to change into a different, more tyrannical form of government," he added. "We must resist this."

The following day, Pelosi said at a press conference that she agrees with Nadler.

"Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler because the administration has decided that they're not going to honor their oath of office," she said.

It's unclear how congressional Democrats will move forward in response to the fallout from Mueller's report. Pelosi has not said if the full House will vote on the contempt resolution against Barr.

However, Pelosi has steadfastly resisted to go forward with impeachment, arguing that it's a distraction and not the most effective way to win as the U.S. heads into an election year.
