President Trump on Sunday suggested that it is no coincidence that news surrounding the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference has emerged at the same time that Republicans are pushing tax reform on Capitol Hill.

Trump's comment came two days after reports surfaced that a grand jury approved the first charges in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election.
The indictment is currently sealed and it's not clear who the charges target, or what they include, though they could be unsealed as early as Monday, according to multiple reports.
House Republicans are expected to unveil their tax reform legislation on Wednesday. Trump and congressional Republicans are pushing to pass a series of tax cuts by the end of the year.

(19,201 posts)followers will believe every word of it. Trump knows his base. They've both been bitching about the "fake" Russian probe since Trump took office, but now - like magic - it's just "bubbled up" to take the supposed shine off of "his" tax plan.
This Russian probe "bubbled up" when the Rethuglicans were trying to repeal and replace the ACA too. They all must have forgotten that bit of "bubbling up" took place. The Russian probe "bubbled up" when Trump was trying to get his travel ban railroaded through the court system as well. Again, they've conveniently forgotten about those bubbles too.
Trump seems to think the entire population of the U.S. is as ignorant as his base. Otherwise he could tweet all this to his loyal twits, and not subject us all to his fantastic lies.
"Bubbled up" my ass, Donnie, you freaking liar.
