Trump says he has not seen or read Mueller's Russia probe report

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had not seen or read the report into Russian election meddling by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a day after his attorney general would not say whether he had briefed the White House or shared the report.

Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday declined to say whether he had briefed the White House or shown them the report when questioned at a congressional hearing. Trump called the origin of the probe into whether his campaign conspired with Russia to sway the vote "an attempted coup" and "treason."
