At a press conference where the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference was talked about at length, Trump turned an answer about the Russia investigation around on the Democrats.
“Why isn't the FBI looking at the DNC server? You have a server that they refuse -- the Democrats refuse to give to the FBI. Now, I don't know how the FBI can investigate something if the DNC, the Democrats, refuse to give the server,” he said.
6. In a tweet on Oct. 29, 2017
Trump has repeatedly denied that any collusion took place on the Republican side during the 2016 election, and during one of those rebukes, he redirected attention to Clinton and the Democrats.
“Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?), \"collusion,\" which doesn't exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R's are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!” Trump wrote in a series of four tweets.

7. In a tweet on Oct. 30, 2017
Just hours after his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort turned himself in after being indicted on charges including conspiracy against the United States, money laundering and working as an unregistered foreign agent, Trump dismissed it as old news. Manafort has since entered a not guilty plea.
“Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????” Trump wrote on Twitter.

He took a similar tact the next day in more tweets while slamming his campaign’s foreign policy advisor, George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.
\"The Fake News is working overtime. As Paul Manaforts lawyer said, there was \"no collusion\" and events mentioned took place long before he came to the campaign. Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar. Check the DEMS!” Trump wrote in two tweets.

9. In a tweet on Nov. 3, 2017
Trump started tweeting again about revelations from former interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile’s book about the Democratic primary.
\"Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems… New Donna B book says she paid for and stole the Dem Primary. What about the deleted E-mails, Uranium, Podesta, the Server, plus, plus People are angry. At some point the Justice Department, and the FBI, must do what is right and proper. The American public deserves it!\" Trump wrote in three tweets.

About an hour after those first tweets, Trump referred to an interview that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., gave where she said that the book suggests that the Democratic primary was rigged, Trump used his offensive nickname for the senator to call the FBI and DOJ to take action.
“Pocahontas just stated that the Democrats, lead by the legendary Crooked Hillary Clinton, rigged the Primaries! Lets go FBI & Justice Dept,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Later that same day, Trump spoke briefly to reporters before flying out to the trip to Hawaii ahead of the Asia trip.
Asked by ABC News’ Chief White House Correspondent Jon Karl about whether he would fire Jeff Sessions if the Justice Department didn't take action to investigate Clinton and the Democrats, the president was noncommittal.
\"I'm really not involved with the Justice Department. I'd like to let it run itself, but honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats. They should be looking at Podesta and all of that dishonesty. They should be looking at a lot of things. And a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department including me,” Trump said.
\"You want to look at Hillary Clinton and you want to look at the new book that was just put out by Donna Brazile where she basically bought the DNC and she stole the election from Bernie [Sanders] so that's what you want to look at,\" Trump said.
