Trump on New Probe: Real Crime Is That Dems Obstruct Justice

Earlier, Chairman of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Jerrold Nadler announced the start of another probe into US President Donald Trump’s activities, suspecting him of obstruction of justice and abuse of power.

US President Donald Trump has criticised the latest investigation into his activities, which was announced on 4 March, accusing Democrats of obstructing justice. According to Trump, while the Democrats are desperately attempting to uncover his alleged crimes with their probes, he argued that it is in fact they who are committing a crime with their “presidential harassment”.

The US president also accused House Judiciary Committee head Jerrold Nadler, chief of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff, and other Democratic leaders of harassing “innocent people” in reference to the documents request sent to 81 agencies, entities, and people in connection with the new probe. Trump also underscored the unwillingness of Democrats to investigate alleged collusion between “Crooked Hillary Clinton” and Russia.

In previous statements, the US president slammed the new investigation as a “political hoax”, but added that he would cooperate with investigators.
