President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday morning that he is the victim of the "greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history."
Trump first blasted the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, saying that they never had a special counsel investigating them. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice announced that former FBI Director Robert Mueller would be a special prosecutor looking into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed!

Then Trump called the investigations a "witch hunt."
This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!
