The broadside was among several by Trump in a tweetstorm that began well before dawn Sunday. The president tweeted on subjects ranging from an escalating trade war with China to his feud with The Washington Post. He also cited criticism of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server and blamed former president Barack Obama’s administration for the crisis in Syria.

A slim majority of 53% said the case is politically motivated, up from 48% in December.That shift in sentiment mainly owes to growing skepticism among Republicans, reflecting their receptivity to Trump’s repeated attacks on what he calls the Mueller “witch hunt” that are regularly echoed by … [Read more...] about Approval of Russia investigation slips as Trump’s ramped-up attacks solidify his base against it
