President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Justice Department officials who organized and conducted Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 'illegal' 22-month probe into Russian election interference were trying to seize the reins of the U.S. government from him.
'This was an attempted coup. An attempt to take down the president. And we beat them,' he told reporters as he left the White House for a Texas fundraiser.
Trump's newly aggressive victory lap comes as Attorney General Bill Barr is expected in the coming days to release Mueller's final report, a document Trump hasn't read and says he doesn't care to.
