President Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning to claim he’s caught up in a “WITCH HUNT” led by “bad and conflicted people” following reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating him for obstruction of justice. 

Trump further claimed it all stems from his critics’ “phony collusion” allegations. 

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election has expanded to include an examination of whether the president attempted to obstruct justice.

“They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice,” Trump tweeted early Thursday.
