President Donald Trump said that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein have conflicts of interest and called the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election “corrupt” in his latest attack on the probe.

President Donald Trump said that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein have conflicts of interest and called the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election “corrupt” in his latest attack on the probe.

“Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama,” Trump said in a tweet about two hours after taunting the Kremlin on Twitter about a planned U.S. attack on Syria.

“Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!”

Trump is angry about an FBI raid Monday on the office and home of his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, that was based on information turned up in Mueller’s investigation. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating payments to a Playboy centerfold and to a porn actress prior to the 2016 election that the women say were intended to buy their silence about affairs with Trump.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that Trump has privately discussed firing Mueller and CNN reported that he’s considered firing Rosenstein.
