Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House on a trip to West Virginia, Trump said Mueller, who told lawmakers his probe did not exonerate the president, did not perform well in testimony before two House of Representatives panels and would hurt the Democrats during the 2020 election campaign.
“Whether his performance was a bad one or a good one, I think everybody understands that. ... There was no defense for this ridiculous hoax, this witch hunt that has been going on a long time,” he added.
