Trump begins solemn 9/11 anniversary with tweets about FBI, Russia probe

President Donald Trump began the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by tweeting about the FBI, claims possible collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia, and former Attorney General Eric Holder.

The tweets, apparently rehashing reports on Fox Business Network and Fox News, came as the president was traveling to a scheduled appearance at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pa. — the site where one of the planes hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001, crashed into a field.

First, right after 7:00 a.m., Trump, appearing to quote from a Fox Business Network segment, tweeted, "'We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.' @SaraCarterDC @LouDobbs."

Lou Dobbs is a Fox Business anchor, while Sara Carter is a Fox News contributor. She posted an article Monday night alleging that officials from the FBI and Justice Department leaked information to the media.

The president then retweeted a 9/11-related post by Dan Scavino, his social media director along with the hashtags, "NeverForget""and "September11th."

Moments later he wrote, "New Strzok-Page texts reveal 'Media Leak Strategy.' @FoxNews So terrible, and NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI — but the world is watching, and they get it completely."

And at 7:41 a.m., again appearing to quote from a Fox Business segment, Trump tweeted, "'ERIC Holder could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.' @LouDobbs."

Trump then tweeted praise of his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of New York City on 9/11.

"Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!" Trump tweeted.
