Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., a longtime ally of President Trump and critic of the Russian collusion investigation, tweeted Thursday that Democrats are now attempting to create controversies because the Mueller report did not find the president guilty of collusion.
“What you’re seeing is unprecedented desperation from the left,” Meadows tweeted. “They went all in on a collusion conspiracy that never existed, didn’t get the result they wanted, and now they’re throwing manufactured controversies at the wall to see if anything sticks. It won’t work. #NoCollusion.”
Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, believe Trump and his campaign team were improperly and politically targeted by federal investigators.
Democrats say Attorney General William Barr, who said there was no evidence of collusion in the report, is taking a partisan approach to handling the report and they now want special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress.
Meadows has from the beginning sought to cast doubt on the Russia probe. At one point, Trump considered him for the role of White House chief of staff.
