Trump rips into Mueller probe at CPAC during lengthy speech
President Donald Trump attacked special counsel Robert Mueller's credibility Saturday, disparaging former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former FBI Director James Comey as Washington waits for Mueller's report in the coming weeks.
In a largely unscripted, wide-ranging speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference lasting more than two hours, Trump hit on several key issues in a characteristic fashion -- mocking proponents of the Green New Deal, vowing to protect free speech on college campuses with an executive order and taking shots at his longtime rival and 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.
But he made a point to take on Mueller, commenting extensively on key parts of the investigation, as the probe appears to be winding down.
