WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump reprised his angry attacks on law enforcement on Tuesday following FBI raids targeting his personal lawyer that were related to a federal investigation into possible collusion by Trump campaign aides with Moscow.In two brief Twitter messages, Trump lamented that "attorney-client privilege is dead," and denounced a "total witch hunt," apparently restating his long-held view of Special Counsel Robert Mueller 's investigation. He did not elaborate.FBI agents executed a series of search warrants on Michael Cohen 's office and home on Monday, law enforcement officials said. Critics have said that if Trump tried to remove Mueller it would amount to interference in the investigation. "No question, a search warrant for a lawyer is an extraordinary act," he told Reuters. "Montoya said the warrant regarding Cohen would have required rigorous scrutiny above and beyond the normal warrant process.
