WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump attacked the probe into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia as a "political hit job" on Monday, as a part of a mounting White House effort to paint the probe as politically motivated. "This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation," Trump said in a series of tweets, quoting Fox News commentator Dan Bongino. Brennan, the CIA's head from 2013 to 2017, "started this entire debacle about President Trump," he said. - FBI infiltrated Trump campaign? -In recent weeks Trump has stepped up his attacks on the Russia investigation, aiming to erode trust in Mueller's integrity in the event the probe takes aim at the president himself.
