Donald Trump has responded to Justice Department special counsel John Durham’s report on the origins of the FBI‘s Trump-Russia probe, saying the findings vindicate his claims of baseless persecution.
‘It’s a great vindication and it feels good, and the report has been widely praised,’ Trump told Newsmax in a phone interview on Tuesday night.
‘All of these people are — I guess you could call it treason. You could call it a lot of different things. But this should never be allowed to happen in our country again,’ added Trump.
The former president when on to heap blame his 2016 election opponent, Hillary Clinton, for the controversial FBI probe into his own campaign.
‘This was really started by, when she lost the election,’ said Trump. ‘They call this a big, big surprise, and they didn’t know what to say. And they said, Let’s blame it on Russia. Somehow somebody came up with the idea let’s blame her loss on Russia.’
‘This was really an excuse for why she lost the election. She blamed it on Russia. And it’s very sad, very very bad for our country,’ added Trump.
