Donald Trump attacks Hillary Clinton for ‘destroying phones with a hammer’ and ‘bleaching’ emails – The Independent

President Donald Trump has mounted another Twitter attack on former election opponent Hillary Clinton, condemning her for previously destroying her phones and "bleaching" her emails.

"Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?" the President tweeted, adding, "Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?"

The tweets may be in reference to reportsfrom the FBI's investigation into Ms Clinton's private email sever. The reports, released last year,say Ms Clinton destroyed her usedphones on at least two occasions while serving assecretary of state. She alsoused BleachBit software to delete some of her emails.

Mr Trump's rehashing of these reports cameone day after The Washington Postreported that he is under investigation for obstruction of justice.

The Postreported on Wednesdaythat Robert Mueller the special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russian meddling in the US election haslaunched a probe into the President's possible interference in that investigation.

Mr Trump issued a separate string of tweets following this revelation, calling the investigation into his conduct "the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!"

"They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story," he wrote."Nice."

The President has faced criticismfrom Democrats and Republicans alike, after unexpectedly firing theFBI director in charge of investigating his campaign's potentialties to Russia.

Former FBI Director James Comey later alleged tht Mr Trump had instructed him to drop investigations into members of his campaign team, and referred to the Russian investigation as a "cloud" he would like to see lifted.

Mr Comey'srevelations were one of the key reasons a special prosecutor was appointed to oversee the investigation in his place.
