US attorney general William Barr released the full redacted version of special counsel Mueller’s report yesterday and quickly received widespread criticism from the Democrats. Despite that heavy criticism, Trump remained defiant after the report cleared the President of any serious links with Russia. While many Democrats criticised the report’s findings, Fox News host, Tucker Carlson put forward a staunch defence of the President.
In a response, tweeted by Trump, Mr Carlson said: “The Mueller Report is perhaps the single most humiliating thing that has ever happened to the White House Press in the history of this Country.
“They know they lie, many reporters lied about Russia collusion and so much more.
“If dozens of Federal prosecutors spent two years trying to charge you with a crime, and found they couldn’t, it would mean there wasn’t any evidence you did it - and that’s what happened here - that’s what we just learned from the Mueller Report.”
Although Trump escaped from any serious ramifications, the investigation led to the charges of 35 people during its course.
