(CNN) President Donald Trump on Saturday accused media coverage of the Russia investigation of overshadowing the "tremendous potential" of his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin -- a shift from his own description of a call spent lamenting special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation but not warning Putin against continued Russian meddling in the 2020 election. "Very good call yesterday with President Putin of Russia," Trump tweeted . "Tremendous potential for a good/great relationship with Russia, despite what you read and see in the Fake News Media. We also went into great detail on various things," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after the phone call. In his investigation, Mueller spotlighted Russian interference, indicting 12 Russian military intelligence officers last year and indicating newly discovered ways that Russia meddled in the 2016 election in his final report.
