Trump isn’t too happy with Hicks testimony

Hope Hicks, a former aide to President Donald Trump, testified behind closed doors today before the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee is investigating possible obstruction of justice by President Trump during the Mueller investigation.

Hicks’ testimony prompted Trump to lash out at Democrats on Twitter. Trump accused the Democrats of wanting a “do over” of the Mueller report because they were dissatisfied with the report’s findings.

“The Dems are very unhappy with the Mueller Report, so after almost 3 years, they want a Redo, or Do Over. This is extreme Presidential Harassment,” Trump tweeted. “They gave Crooked Hillary’s people complete Immunity, yet now they bring back Hope Hicks. Why aren’t the Dems looking at the 33,000 Emails that Hillary and her lawyer deleted and acid washed AFTER GETTING A SUBPOENA FROM CONGRESS? That is real Obstruction that the Dems want no part of because their hearings are RIGGED and a disgrace to our Country!”

But Trump didn’t stop there. He blamed the Democrats’ “rigged” investigation for his middling poll numbers, saying he would be “way up” in the polls if he weren’t distracted by a Democratic “witch hunt.”

“If I didn’t have the Phony Witch Hunt going on for 3 years, and if the Fake News Media and their partner in Crime, the Democrats, would have played it straight, I would be way up in the Polls right now – with our Economy, winning by 20 points. But I’m winning anyway!” Trump tweeted.

Meanwhile, Democrats are unhappy with Hicks’ testimony, saying she is dodging questions. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington state, called Hicks’ testimony a “farce.”
