Trump turns on fellow Republicans
A day after unleashing a barrage of angry tweets venting his frustration at the widening investigation into suspected Russian election interference and possible collusion with members of his campaign team, President Trump turned his ire against members of his own party.
In tweets Sunday, Trump accused Republicans of "doing little to protect their President" while again brushing aside the probe as a "phony Russian Witch Hunt."

Trump has in the past suggested that Democrats concocted the allegationthat Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election as an excuse for losing the race.
In a series of Sunday talk show appearances, his new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, said that the president still isn't convinced that Russia interfered.
That comes despite the conclusions of the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies, which agree that Russia orchestrated a campaign of hacks and online leaks in an attempt to manipulate the election's outcome in Trump's favor.
In a second tweet, Trump complained that fellow Republicans, "even some that were carried over the line on my back," had failed to return the favor by protecting him.
