Scaramucci: Trump ‘not worried’ about Mueller’s Russia probe

Anthony Scaramucci weighed in on President Trump’s state of mind as it relates to Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

The former White House communications director told CNN on Sunday that Trump is “certainly not worried about it” but is “frustrated” by his political opponents’ attempts to distract from his agenda.

“When you really uncover the data and the information, you’ll find that the president was nowhere near the Russians as it related to the campaign, the election or anything thereof,” Scaramucci added.

The president, in a recent interview with the New York Times, repeatedly insisted that his campaign did not collude with Russia for the 2016 election and said about the investigation, “I think I’ll be treated fairly.”

However, Trump has called the Russia probe a hoax on a number of occasions, along with assertions that Hillary Clinton is the one who should be under investigation.

“Why isn’t the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary [Clinton] deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia,” Trump tweeted in March.

More recently, he said via Twitter, “The Russia hoax continues, now it’s ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?”
