President Donald Trump lashed out Friday at what he referred to as the “Crazy Mueller Report,” arguing that some of what was said about him in the report was untrue.
“Statements are made about me by certain people in the Crazy Mueller Report, in itself written by 18 Angry Democrat Trump Haters, which are fabricated & totally untrue,” Trump began. (RELATED: Trump Lawyer Reads Directly From Mueller Report To Push Back On Brian Williams)
He then added a warning, suggesting it was suspect that notes from certain meetings had appeared as needed: “Watch out for people that take so-called ‘notes,’ when the notes never existed until needed.”

The report, released to the public on Thursday, detailed the conclusions previewed several weeks earlier in Attorney General William Barr’s summary: Mueller found no evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in an attempt to influence the election, but left it up to the attorney general and Congress to draw conclusions with regard to obstruction.
