When I won it became a big deal and the Rigged Witch Hunt headed by Strzok!\u201d the president wrote earlier in the morning, referring to Agent Peter Strzok, who has come under criticism for personal texts he sent that were critical of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The broadsides were nothing new for the president, who has long railed against the investigation and questioned the intelligence communitys conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to aid his chances of winning.<\/p>\n<p>The tweets come at a charged time, however, after Mueller indicted 12 Russians on Friday for their role in hacking the Democratic National Committee during the campaign and leaking the emails. Whether Trump will press Putin on the hacking and broader interference campaign on Monday remains an open question.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has repeated Putins claim that Russia had nothing to do with the hacking, after past meetings with the Russian leader. The Helsinki summit will be their first formal one-on-one gathering and comes after Trump caused controversy last week at a NATO summit and in meetings in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Trump rehashed the NATO summit on Twitter on Monday, declaring it a success even after he spent much of the gathering berating allies for not spending enough on defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReceived many calls from leaders of NATO countries thanking me for helping to bring them together and to get them focused on financial obligations, both present &amp; future,\u201d Trump tweeted. \u201cWe had a truly great Summit that was inaccurately covered by much of the media. NATO is now strong &amp; rich!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/europe-dependence-on-the-us-was-all-part-of-the-plan-donald-trump-nato\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Europes dependence on the US was all part of the plan<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday morning to blame the investigation of Russian inter..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
