Trump: Why Not Investigate Clintons' Russia Ties?

President Donald Trump on Monday night weighed in on the controversy over claims members of his transition team talked to Russian officials.

Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech....

...money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!

Trump's tweets refer to claims that Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, helped approved the Russian government's purchase of an American company's uranium extraction capabilities. Clinton has denied any involvement.

The tweets come as Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has come under attack by Democrats demanding he step down from a bipartisan probe into attempts by the Russian government to affect the 2016 presidential elections. Nunes briefed Trump on information he received about the reported unmasking of Trump transition officials before telling Democrats on the committee.

The Russian probe was not the only thing on Trump's mind Monday night. He also slammed members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus for killing the GOP bill to replace Obamacare. And he vowed to work with Democrats to get something passed.

The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. After so many bad years they were ready for a win!

The Democrats will make a deal with me on healthcare as soon as ObamaCare folds - not long. Do not worry, we are in very good shape!
