by Ken Meyer | Nov 29th, 2018, 8:20 am
Either Robert Mueller managed to spend $10 million in less than 48 hours, or Donald Trump is unable to keep track of himself as he continues to slam the special counsel.
The president got on his phone on Thursday to rip Mueller for the kabillionth time over the ongoing investigation into Russia. As he compared the probe to the Joe McCarthy era Red Scare once again, Trump proclaimed that the investigation has supposedly cost more than $40 million.

This wouldnt be the first time Trump has grumbled about the investigations price tag, even though multiple fact-checks show he lacks nuance and makes misleading claims when speaking about the exact costs. As it were, its interesting that Trump says the probe costs $40 million dollars when just two days ago, he said the probe costed $10 million less than that.

So, assuming either figure is accurate, which is it?
