President Trump on Tuesday unleashed another blistering attack on Robert S. Mueller III, calling the special counsel investigating Russian election interference a “conflicted prosecutor gone rogue” who is doing “TREMENDOUS damage” to the criminal justice system.

In morning tweets, Trump employed some of his harshest language to date in a continuing attempt to discredit Mueller as he probes possible coordination between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign and whether Trump has obstructed the investigation.

“Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie,” Trump said. “Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue. . . . The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System.”

Trump also repeated a complaint that Mueller is not looking into the president’s political adversaries.

Trump’s tweets followed several high-profile developments Monday in the investigation by Mueller, who is preparing a report on his findings.

Prosecutors working with Mueller said Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, had breached a plea agreement, accusing him of lying repeatedly to them in the investigation into Russian interference. In a court filing, Manafort denied doing so intentionally.
