On Monday night, President Donald Trump took to Twitter in order to disparage the investigation currently ongoing looking into ties between the Russian government and his administration and campaign.

Instead of claiming that he had no ties, Trump tried to put the blame on the Clinton family, claiming that they had improper relations with Russia.

“Why isn’t the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech..” he tweeted before adding, ten minutes later, “…money to Bill, the Hillary Russian “reset,” praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!”

The claim by the president is referencing one made by The New York Times two years ago and one that Trump had referenced during his campaign in which he ran against Hillary Clinton.

Also on Monday night, the president used Twitter to blast not only the House Freedom Caucus but Democrats.

“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!” he tweeted, followed shortly by, “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!”
