US President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, in a tweet, to end the wide-ranging probe into Russian election meddling and possible ties between his campaign and Moscow, calling it as “a disgrace” to the country.
The investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller is currently examining the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on bank and tax fraud charges.
“This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further,” Mr. Trump said.
He said Mueller was ‘totally conflicted’ and called his probe as “a disgrace to USA”.
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX. The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier which was, along with Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch Hunt. Disgraceful!

Seperately, U.S President Donald Trump said that he would allow the federal government to shut down if Democrats refused to back his demand to build a wall at the Mexico border and other significant changes to immigration laws.
In a tweet, he said, “I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!”
