US President Donald Trump unleashed a flurry of messages attacking Hillary Clinton and Democrats, a day before the first charges may be announced from a special prosecutor investigating Russian involvement in last year’s election.
“There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!” Trump posted on Twitter.
“The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics,” he wrote, adding that Republicans are “are now fighting back like never before.”

Minutes before the president’s Twitter account came alive, former US attorney Preet Bharara said on CNN’s State of the Union that people should watch Trump’s reaction to any charges that might emerge in the investigation being led by special counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

“I would look for a couple of things. One, whether or not Donald Trump has some reaction and talks in a way that could be used against him in the future, because Bob Mueller would do that,” Bharara said.
