“He told the attorneys that I’m not a subject, I’m not a target,” Trump said of Rosenstein’s comment about the Mueller probe, according to the Times. Mueller is leading an investigation into what US intelligence agencies have said was Russian interference in the 2016 election to help Trump win the presidency, and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Trump calls the investigation a witch hunt and denies any collusion with Russia, while Moscow denies meddling in the election. The Times said when Trump was asked whether he had spoken with Stone about WikiLeaks and the stolen emails, he said, “No, I didn’t. I never did.”Asked whether he had directed anyone to get in touch with Stone about WikiLeaks, Trump said, “Never did,” according to the Times.
