Without producing any evidence of his own, Trump makes a serious accusation against Mueller ahead of his testimony to Congress.

Donald Trump has personally accused Robert Mueller of committing a crime by deleting sensitive information during his Russia investigationhe did not produce any evidence whatsoever to back up the assertion.
In a Friday morning interview on the Fox Business Network, Trump wildly lurched from topic to topic in a rambling, contradictory and confusing style. The president appeared to become more agitated as the segment continued, until he was practically screaming down the phone by its end.
Anchor Maria Bartiromo barely managed to ask a question of the president, mostly responding wow to Trump's various attacks. Trump's targets included but weren't limited to: Mueller, Joe Biden, China, Europe, Google, Twitter, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He also issued a threat to Japan where he's due to visit this week.
As usual, Trump was at his angriest when discussing Mueller. He accused the Special Counsel of trying to erase evidence of text messages between two FBI employeesattorney Lisa Page and agent Peter Strzok. Trump has long been fixated with a text between the two in which they talked of an insurance policy if he won in 2016.
The two lovers, the two pathetic lovers, those two lovebirds, Trump said of the pair. Robert Mueller, they worked for him ... they had texts back and forth ... Mueller terminated them illegally. He terminated the emails, he terminated all of the stuff between Strzok and Page ... He terminated them. They're gone. That's illegal. That's a crime.

WTF? This happened 5 days ago and they published this story today and then "updated" it 3 minutes later?
Of course they don't tell what the "update" is. There's so much shitty journalism these days!
