Although Trump plans a second term, the investigation, led by special counsel Robert Mueller, is putting his presidency in peril.

In a series of tweets, Trump lashed out at the investigation today, posting quotes arguing there was "no collusion" between his campaign and the Russians.

Quoting former special counsel Ken Starr, he tweeted: "'We’ve seen NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION….I have seen nothing, the firing of James Comey and all of the aftermath, that suggests that the President has obstructed justice because he’s exercising his power as the President of the UUS I just don’t see it'."

In one tweet he simply wrote: "WITCH HUNT!"
