“There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things, very bad things – I would say treasonous things against our country,” he said during a meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sign a proclamation recognising Israeli sovereignty over the dispute Golan Heights.
“I will tell you, I love this country. I love this country as much as I can love anything: my family, my country, my god. But what they did, it was a false narrative. It was – it was a terrible thing.
He added: “We can never let this happen to another president again. I can tell you that. I say it very strongly. Very few people I know could have handled it.”
“I think Democrats and the liberal media owe the president and they owe the American people an apology,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told breakfast television. “They wasted two years and created a massive disruption and distraction from things that… impact everyone’s day-to-day lives.”
The investigation is thought to have cost $25m (£19m) and involved 19 lawyers, 40 FBI agents, 2,800 subpoenas, 13 requests issued to foreign governments, 230 orders for communication records and 500 witnesses interviewed.
