To make sure the message got out, he hit as numerous Sunday shows as he could.

But the sense of chaos around the White House is deepening.

What has been reported about whether Trump is under investigation?

Kushner's contacts with Russians during the transition have been scrutinized as part of the widening probes into whether Trump's team coordinated with Moscow during the election.

Last week, Trump sent a tweet referring to being the victim of a "witch hunt". And the president "wants people to say that", he said. "#MAGA", Trump tweeted on June 15.

"No one has notified us that he is under investigation", Sekulow said. "But the president does utilize Twitter and social media platforms and, again, the situation on Friday that created the five anonymous sources".

The scorched-earth approach may have grave political consequences.

Clearly, Trump is exasperated over what he sees as much ado about nothing. That may be an understandable approach in such a high-profile matter, though not always an advisable one.

At worst, it could force the nation to confront a third debate on whether to remove an elected President in just 45 years. "That's the constitutional threshold question here".

Back in the present, the President's mood is fueling the sense of crisis. "He's responding to what he's seeing in the media in a way in which he thinks is appropriate to talk to those people that put him in office". "We're going to get the full truth out there, and I repeat, I believe that is the best thing that can happen for the president and for this administration", Rubio told NBC's "Meet the Press". "And he's expressing himself in that way".

What has Trump himself said?

Conte has told him that he wants him out so you would be looking at a striker, ' the ex-England winger told Goal . In 48 games played, he has scored 32 goals , and this record has attracted much attention for this 20-year-old.

Several congressional panels continue to investigate Russians meddling in the US election which has cast a shadow over the early months of Trump's presidency.

Angus King said he doesn't understand why President Donald Trump and his attorney general appear uninterested in the issue.

President Donald Trump is beginning his day with a stream of tweets defending his record and lashing out at the investigation into Russian interference in the election.

The Post reported last week that Robert Mueller - the special counsel appointed to investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election - was looking into whether Trump obstructed justice. "He's been a fighter his whole life", former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week".

"It was 141 characters".

"There's a limitation on Twitter, as we all know", Sekulow said.

Why he's representing Trump: "If the president of the United States asks you for legal advice and you're a lawyer and you're serving your country and the Constitution, you do it", Sekulow said on his radio show earlier this month.

Comey also told the Senate that he intentionally leaked his contemporaneous memos detailing his conversations with Trump in order to prompt the appointment of a special counsel.

The president suggested on Twitter that he may have taped conversations.

Sekulow sidestepped Cuomo's charge, returning to his claim that the president's reasons for firing Comey could not be investigated given that the Federal Bureau of Investigation director serves at the pleasure of the president.
