President Donald Trump's outburst was recently caught on tape, after answering a few questions from reporters following the televised testimony of Robert Mueller, the sixth and former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, earlier this week.
In a trending video, Trump is seen sporting a smug demeanor after the conclusion of Mueller's testimony. The President claimed it was a victory for him and went on to lash at numerous reporters who had apparently badgered him with questions about the controversial testimony.
A shocking number of 13 million Americans had their faces glued to their televisions or mobile devices in order to tune in to Mueller's hearing. Viewers sat through the entire hearing that mainly featured Mueller answering questions about the alleged Russian investigation, for over six hours.
And one of those who had paid careful attention to Mueller's every statement and kept tabs on his lengthy stays at Capitol Hill was no other than the President himself. Alongside the millions of other viewers, Trump was also sitting at the edge of his seat and tuning in to what could be the hearing of his own undoing or lead him to be exonerated.
Mueller had apparently been going into the smallest details of the Russian government's involvement in the 2016 presidential election. Moreover, he had been trying to tie the Russian authorities to Trump's campaign, claiming that they had been influencing the results of the elections in order to ensure Trump's victory.
America's Senate Intelligence Committee recently released a report about the 2016 elections and the role the Russians played in it. Apparently, a couple of Russians had hacked into the election systems and tried to access all the data in the system across all 50 states. This had sparked the controversy and the question of whether or not these Russian hackers had been persuaded to influence that year's elections.
A few minute shy of Mueller's "flop" testimony on television, Trump jumped onto social media in order to fire insults at Democrats, and anybody standing behind Mueller in this "unnecessary" investigation. He also had a field day with the press as he lashed out at reporters and ridiculed Mueller over and over, during his interview outside the White House.
He had been accusing most reporters and their news publications of being untruthful and apparent bearers of fake news, which were all efforts to apparently trash his image. Trump went on to praise Republicans who had defended their country by opposing the Democrats who allegedly allowed this political circus of a hearing to embarrass their nation.
