Trump Rails Against Squad, Mueller Report in Speech to Teenagers
----------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, Trump railed against former special counsel Robert Mueller's
investigation during a speech at an event for conservative high school
students in Washington.

President Donald Trump: "I have an Article II, where I have the right to
do whatever I want as president. But I don't even talk about that,
because they did a report and there was no obstruction. After looking at
it-our great attorney general read it, he's a total professional-he
said, 'There's nothing here. There's no obstruction.'"

Trump also renewed attacks on the four progressive congresswomen of
color widely referred to as the "Squad." He repeated his claim that
"they hate our country," and called Michigan Congressmember Rashida
Tlaib "vicious" and a "crazed lunatic," referring to a 2016 video
showing Tlaib heckling Trump when he was running for president.
