The US president lashes out over the inquiry into Russian influence on his election.
US President Donald Trump has lashed out at the decision to appoint a special counsel to oversee the inquiry into Russian influence on his election.
He told journalists on Thursday: « I respect the move, but the entire thing has been a witch hunt. »
Former FBI director Robert Mueller has been selected to lead the inquiry, with the US deputy attorney general saying it was in the public interest to pick an outsider.
