WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is rehashing longstanding grievances over the Russia investigation that shadowed much of his first term. The Republican president lashed out Tuesday following a report from his intelligence director aimed at casting doubt on long-established findings about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election. Trump was not making his claims for the first time but delivered them when administration officials are harnessing the machinery of the federal government to investigate the targets of Trump’s derision. A representative for former President Barack Obama, who Trump accused of treason, said the “bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
