But he has intensified his attacks on Mueller in recent days and on Wednesday he accused the prosecutor of pressuring witnesses to lie.
"This is our Joe McCarthy era!" Trump declared in a tweet, comparing the probe of his campaign to the notorious anti-communist campaign led by McCarthy in the Senate during the 1950s.
Trump claimed that "at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief."
Trump went on to retweet a crudely photoshopped image posted by a fan account called The Trump Train, under a banner headline that read: "NOW THAT RUSSIA COLLUSION IS A PROVEN LIE, WHEN DO THE TRIALS FOR TREASON BEGIN?"
Among the dozen figures it showed behind bars were former president Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Mueller.
The image also depicted Rod Rosenstein, Trump's own deputy justice chief, who had been overseeing Mueller's probe into Russia's election meddling until being supplanted earlier this month by a new acting attorney general seen as hostile to the special counsel's inquiry.
