Former President Donald Trump said that he will not partake in an investigation after the Department of Justice (DOJ) appointed a special counsel to take over a probe related to presidential records that were held by Trump.
“I have been going through this for six years—for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore,” Trump told Fox News on Friday after Attorney General Merrick Garland’s announcement about the special counsel. “And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this.”
