In a pre-dawn tweetstorm, President-elect Donald Trump attacked the Justice Department’s probe of the FBI’s late-October handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, touted his own Cabinet nominees, implied again that he believes the Russian government more than U.S. intelligence officials, condemned this week’s dossier alleging compromising ties to the Kremlin, and said the Affordable Care Act will soon be “history.” On the subject of the lurid allegations in a dossier about Trump that was published by BuzzFeed News this week, he called the reports “phony” and lambasted the “political opponents” who he says made up the claims with “a failed spy afraid of being sued.” He added, “FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably released by ‘intelligence’ even knowing there is no proof, and never will be. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!” Trump called out Democratic allies of Hillary Clinton, who he said should not complain as she was “allowed” to run despite being “guilty as hell.” He added, “They were VERY nice to her.” Around 6:30 a.m., he shot off one last tweet. “The ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act will soon be history!”
