Trump blasts Justice Dept.

WASHINGTON — President Trump complained he’s the victim of a “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history” on Thursday, and denied that he asked his then-FBI Director James Comey to stop investigating a former top aide.

“No, no. Next question,” Trump said when asked if he’d pressured Comey to drop an investigation into Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser.

“I believe it hurts our country terribly, because it shows we’re a divided, mixed-up, not-unified country,” the President said. “And we have very important things to be doing right now, whether it’s trade deals, whether it’s military, whether it’s stopping nuclear . . .

“I respect the move but the entire thing has been a witch hunt and there is no collusion between — certainly myself and my campaign, but I can only speak for myself, and the Russians. Zero,” Trump said at a joint news confer-
