“Russia would’ve much rather had Hillary than Donald Trump. I can tell you that right now,” Trump told Sean Hannity in his first interview since the end of the Mueller investigation.
President Donald Trump, in his first interview since the end of Robert Mueller’s investigation, reiterated on Wednesday that the special counsel’s inquiry was unnecessary and that the focus of public suspicion should have been on the other side.
Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election ended Friday, and a summary of his report by Attorney General William Barr declared that the special counsel was unable to uncover evidence of a conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. The finding was a point of vindication for Trump and his supporters, who have long derided the investigation as a “witch hunt.
In the interview, Trump went so far as to say it would have been more reasonable for Russia to promote Clinton as its preferred candidate, citing with little evidence that she would have impeded American oil and gas drilling, upping Russia’s position in global markets.
