"There is no collusion, so now they turn into" let us inspect every transaction he has made. "We will go into his finances, we will check his business," these people are sick, they are sick, "he told a spellbinding crowd.

"Unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a few positions, and they leave for a long time people who should not be there, and suddenly, they try to get you out with bullshit."

The comments come as Trump faces ongoing investigations from several powerful committees of the House and his legal advisers.

Is currently conducting his own investigation into Russian collusion and announced last month the extension of his investigation into Trump's personal finances.

"The actions and attitude of the President towards Russia during the campaign, the transition and the administration have only increased the fear of a leverage effect financial or otherwise from abroad with respect to President Trump and stress the need to determine whether he or the members of his administration have acted in the service of foreign interests since taking office, "said Schiff in a statement in February.

Trump criticized the development, saying it was a presidential harassment. The president previously stated that the investigation of his personal affairs or about his family members was a "red line".

"There is no basis for doing that. It's just a political hacker who's trying to make a name for himself, "Trump told reporters after Schiff's announcement." It's just that presidential harassment is unfortunate and that makes really bad for our country. "

"I saw the little bit shy Schiff … he went to a meeting and he said," We are going to look at his finances. "I said," Where would that be He has always talked about collusion! Collusion with Russia, illusion of collusion, "added Trump Saturday.

On Saturday, Trump repeated the usual frustrations over the restrictions he perceived in his response to the inquiries, claiming that criticism of Democrats' efforts could lead to accusations that the White House would obstruct justice.

"If you use Article II, there is talk of obstruction, but only for Trump, not for anyone else," he said, referring to the section of the Constitution that defines the powers of the executive power.

Congressional monitoring efforts are underway as Mueller quietly completes his extended investigation, observers saying the final report could be tabled in the coming weeks. The investigation culminated in indictments and guilty pleas for a litany of Trump associates.

Trump also criticized the special advocate on Saturday, noting that Mueller had never received a confirmation vote to become a special advocate, a post for which no congressional approval is required.

The White House's investigation cloud has touched Trump almost since his inauguration in 2017, which has led to new claims between Mueller and Democrats in the House leading to a "witch hunt" to make up for a embarrassing defeat of the 2016 election.

However, the Democrats did not want to reverse the pace of their investigations. The House's intelligence committee recently called Trump's finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, to testify about Trump's financial habits.
