Trump Calls for Comprehensive Investigation Into Russia Collusion Claims

US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire for a thorough investigation into all individuals associated with what the White House refers to as the "Russia collusion hoax," including members from the Obama administration. "He wants to see all those who perpetuated this fraud against our country… to be thoroughly investigated," stated Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday. This announcement was supported by references to newly declassified documents from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Criticism of Former Officials and Democrats

Leavitt also took the opportunity to criticize former officials such as James Clapper and Andrew McCabe, who are now media personalities, for their role in perpetuating the narrative. Additionally, prominent Democrats including Hillary Clinton and Adam Schiff were accused of misleading the public regarding the Russia collusion allegations.

Urging Journalists to Review the Full Report

Concluding her remarks, Leavitt urged journalists to thoroughly review the full report, pointing out that many had previously failed to critically question the claims made about Russia's involvement in the 2016 election.
