Trump: Russia investigations an attempted ‘coup’

President Donald Trump on Thursday called the FBI probe into his 2016 campaign and subsequent investigations into Russian election meddling “an attempted overthrow” of his administration.

“This was a coup,” Trump told host Sean Hannity on Fox News’ “Hannity” in his first interview since the Mueller report’s release. “This was an attempted overthrow of the United States government.”

Trump insisted that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election had gone “hog wild to find something about the administration which obviously wasn’t there.”
