Trump’s tirade after the Michael Cohen raid, annotated

TRUMP: So I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys — a good man. And it‘s a disgraceful situation. It‘s a total witch hunt. I‘ve been saying it for a long time. I‘ve wanted to keep it down. We‘ve given, I believe, over a million pages‘ worth of documents to the Special Counsel.

They continue to just go forward. And here we are talking about Syria and we‘re talking about a lot of serious things. We‘re the greatest fighting force ever. And I have this witch hunt constantly going on for over 12 months now — and actually, much more than that. You could say it was right after I won the nomination, it started.

And it‘s a disgrace. It‘s, frankly, a real disgrace. It‘s an attack on our country, in a true sense.
