At his first political rally since the end of the Russia collusion probe, President Donald Trump on Thursday (Mar 28) accused backers of the investigation of trying to overturn the 2016 election and attempting "illegally" to claim power, Channelnewsasia reported.
Declaring the country "hurt" by the probe, Trump called his opponents "losers" and celebrated the fact the investigation had come to a close.
"After three years of lies and smears and slander, the Russia hoax is finally dead. The collusion delusion is over," he told a crowd of thousands at a Grand Rapids arena.
“The Russia witch hunt was a plan by those who lost the election to try and illegally regain power by framing innocent Americans – many of them, they suffered – with an elaborate hoax,” he said.
