President Donald Trump and his Republican allies are pushing back hard against Democrats and others who condemn what they call corrupt and deceptive practices in the White House based on the report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Trump wrote on Twitter Sunday, "Can you believe that I had to go through the worst and most corrupt political Witch Hunt in the history of the United States (No Collusion) when it was the 'other side' that illegally created the diversionary and criminal event and even spied on my campaign? Disgraceful!"

Trump also tweeted, "Despite No Collusion, No Obstruction, The Radical Left Democrats do not want to go on to legislate for the good of the people, but only to investigate and waste time. This is costing our Country greatly, and will cost the Dems big time in 2020!"

In a third tweet, the president wrote, "How do you impeach a Republican President for a crime that was committed by the Democrats? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" He was referring to the fact that some Democrats want to impeach him for corruption and other offenses. Some of his critics also want him prosecuted and convicted for what they say are various crimes. He didn't explain the "crime that was committed by the Democrats."

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told ABC, "The president is not going to jail. He's staying in the White House for five and a half more years."

And Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for the president, said on Fox News Sunday that the Mueller report is full of "calumny, lies and distortion."

Asked why Trump is so angry at Mueller and former White House counsel Don McGahn, who spoke extensively to the Mueller team, Giuliani told NBC, "'Because they tried to frame him."

In the Mueller report, released with redactions Thursday, Trump was not found to have conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. But Mueller neither exonerated Trump nor accused Trump regarding obstruction of justice, saying the evidence wasn't sufficient to reach a conclusion either way. Democratic leaders who control the House plan to use Mueller's report as the basis for continuing investigations into Trump's 2016 campaign and the possibility of obstruction of justice after he became president.
