CNN: Trump Says Appointment of Special Counsel ‘Hurts Our Country Terribly’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: "Let me read to you the entire statement. This is on the record from the president of the United States about this appointment of a special counsel. "I believe it hurts our country terribly because it shows we're a divided, mixed up, not unified country. And we have very important things to be doing right now, whether it's trade deals, whether it's military, whether it's stopping nuclear, all of the things that we discussed today and I think this shows a very divided country." The president then said this, "It also happens to be a pure excuse for the Democrats having lost an election that they should have easily won because of the electoral college being slanted so much in their way. That's all this is. I think it shows division. And it shows that we're not together as a country and I think it's a very, very negative thing and hopefully this can go quickly because we have to show unity if we're going to do great things with respect to the rest of the world."
