He then voiced his support for the report's release but reiterated, as he has said previously, that if or how the report gets released is up to recently-installed Attorney General Bill Barr.

\"Now at the same time, let it come out, let people see it. That's up to the attorney general. We have a very good, highly-repected man and we'll see what happens, but it's sort of interesting that a man writes a report -- I had 306 electoral votes against 223 -- that's a tremendous victory,\" he said.

\"I got 63 million more, 63 million votes and now somebody just writes a report. I think it's ridiculous, but I want to see the report, and you know who wants to see it? The tens of millions of people that love the fact that we have the greatest economy we've ever had,\" Trump said.

Asked if Mueller is a \"bad actor\" Trump replied, \"I know that he put 13 highly conflicted and, you know, very angry, I called them angry Democrats in,\" referring to the special counsel's prosecutors. \"So you know, I--so what it is--now, let's see whether or not it's legit. You know better than anybody there's no collusion. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. There was no nothing.

\"But it's sort of an amazing thing that when you had a great victory, somebody comes in, does a report out of nowhere, tell me how that makes sense, who never got a vote, who the day before he was retained to become special counsel, I told him he would be working at the FBI,\" Trump said. \"End of the following day, they get him for this. I don't think so. I don't--I don't think people get it. With all of that being said, I look forward to seeing the report.\"
