Trump calls Mueller probe a ‘danger’ to US criminal justice - a day after Manafort's 'plea deal violation' revealedPresident Donald Trump has unleashed one of his most vicious attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, just a day after investigators accused former top Trump official Paul Manafort of violating a plea agreement by lying. In an early morning tweet storm, Mr Trump called the special counsel a “conflicted prosecutor gone rogue” who was doing “TREMENDOUS damage” to the American criminal justice system. Mr Mueller – a registered Republican who had previously been appointed to top US intelligence posts by presidents of both – is leading the investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia’s efforts to influence the presidential election.
