Public Not Buying Trump Denials About Meuller Investigation
Posted on the 17 December 2018 by JobsangerFor months now, Donald Trump has been denying any wrongdoing in regards to the Mueller investigation. He has called it a with hunt, and said it was politically motivated. But the American public is not buying his denials.
About 62% of the public believes Trump has been dishonest when talking about the investigation, while only 34% say he's honest.
And nearly half (46%) believe Trump himself is guilty of crimes -- not just his already convicted campaign officials. Another 31% isn't sure if he's guilty or not, while 23% believe he is innocent.
Trump's denials and denigration of the investigation may be accepted by his followers, but not by the general public.
