1/ Trump tweeted that Russia helped “me to get elected� – his first acknowledgement that Russia worked to get him elected in 2016. Trump later retracted the statement, telling reporters that, “No, Russia did not help me get elected. […] I got me elected.� Trump has previously denied that Russia interfered in the election, rejecting the conclusions by American intelligence agencies and federal prosecutors that Russia worked to help him defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election campaign.

2/ Trump attacked Robert Mueller, characterizing him as “totally conflicted� and “true never-Trumper,� suggesting that if the former special counsel had any evidence, he would have brought charges. Trump insisted that Mueller’s comments yesterday “essentially� said “‘You’re innocent.’ There was no crime, there was no charge because he had no information.� Trump also referred to a “business dispute� with Mueller, but didn’t elaborate. Bill O’Reilly, however, said Trump called him last night to complain that “Mueller didn’t like him because he turned him down to be the head of the FBI after he fired Comey� and that Trump once refused to refund his country club membership deposit. “Mueller wanted $15,000 back and Trump said no,� O’Reilly said. Mueller denied the incident. Trump went on to baselessly claim that Mueller “loves Comey,� and “whether it’s love or a deep like, he was conflicted.� (ABC News / NBC News / Mediate)
