President Trump on Tuesdsay told reporters he believes the investigation that involved of his presidential campaign, which eventually helped lead to the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, was launched with orders from officials “very high up†in the Obama administration.
“It started fairly low, but with instructions from the high up,†the president told reporters on Capitol Hill before attending a policy lunch with Senate Republicans. “This should never happen to a president again. We can’t allow that to take place.â€
But Trump suggested the West Wing of former President Barack Obama’s White House may have been involved.
“I don’t want to say that, but I think you know the answer,†he said.

Trump lauded the findings of special counsel Mueller’s investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“It could not have been better. It said ‘no obstruction, no collusion.’ It could not have been better,†he said.
