President Donald Trump accused his enemies of 'evil' acts on Monday and demanded they be held accountable.
Trump said the people he's talking about know who they are hours after his press secretary suggested former FBI director James Comey and ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper be forced to testify on the special counsel probe.
'We've been through a period, we've had very bad things happen and those people are certainly to be looked at,' Trump said. 'They lied to Congress, and many of them you know who they are. They've done so many evil things.'
The president admitted minutes prior that he doesn't believe Robert Mueller personally acted in bad faith, despite his demonizing of the special counsel as a friend of Comey's with massive conflicts of interest.
He told a reporter asking if Mueller acted honorably, 'Yes he did.'

Trump suggested former FBI director James Comey and ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should be forced to testify on the special counsel probe. He indicated he doesn't mean Robert Mueller, who acted honorably
The White House claimed Monday that the president 'wants full transparency' in the special counsel investigation and would be 'more than happy' to see the attorney general release Mueller's entire report.
'I don't think the president has any problem with it,' press secretary Sarah Sanders said on 'Today' on NBC News. 'He's more than happy for any of this stuff to come out because he knows exactly what did and what didn't happen and now frankly the rest of America knows.'
Asked by DailyMail.com if the White House's call for transparency extends to President Trump's written answers to the special counsel's questions, Sanders said he would leave the decision to Attorney General William Barr.
She said Trump has 'been clear about what he thinks should take place' but has said he will let Barr make his own determination. 'At the same time, we have to protect the office of the presidency,' she said.
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway claimed that Trump's answers are not 'particularly relevant' as she answered the same question.
'Because he was responding to questions that it turns out weren't particularly relevant or important to anything,' she said. 'There's no collusion, no obstructive conduct, no conspiracy, no indictments, nobody named Trump indicted.'

Appearing on Fox News immediately prior, Conway had advocated for the release of the FISA warrants obtained to spy on Trump associates in the Russian election meddling case.
'Let's see everything that attended to the FISA warrant. Let's see all the communications happening at the top levels of the FBI during the Obama Administration, and getting that 'insurance policy,' deriding the Trump voters and the rest of us as filthy Walmart shoppers and all of the other slights, all the snark and bark from the elitist intellectual snobs. Let's see it. Let's let it all hang out.'
His advisers' enthusiasm for a public accounting of the probe that Trump incessantly slammed as a 'witch hunt' does not extend to the president's written answers to the special counsel in lieu of an interview.
Conway told reporters at the White House afterward 'that is really up to the attorney general' to decide what to release. 'You can't just abracadabra your way into what's into the report.
She blasted the probe as a 'fishing expedition' and others like it as 'hoaxes and witch hunts.'
'You never really know when they're gonna end, and you never really know what's gonna happen next,' she said.
Jay Sekulow, an attorney for the president, said Monday that it would be 'very inappropriate' for DOJ to release 'confidential' communications between the president and Mueller.
'Well, that would not be a position that I would want, to just make a statement where we would release confidential communications that took place between the President of the United States and the Department of Justice or the special counsel's office,' Sekulow told CNN on 'New Day' on Monday morning.
He said, 'As a lawyer, you don't waive privileges and you don't waive investigative detail absent either a court order or an agreement between the parties. And you'd have to weigh a lot of factors there on how that affects other presidencies.'

Sekulow also said that the release of the answers will 'be a decision' that Barr makes 'but I've some strong opinions about that.'
Democrats are demanding the entire report and the underlying evidence and documents be turned over to Congress. That would include the president's written responses to questions from the special counsel.
Barr has committed to releasing as much as he can but he did not promise Sunday to go further than that.
Conway said she was surprised that so many people entangled in the probe want everything to come come, considering how many of them could be found out to be leakers.
'The failure to find obstruction means that no obstruction was written into the report for a reason. But let's not forget where that came from. That came from leaks and accusations, I believe that started with Jim Comey, leaking to lots of folks, saying that he specifically leaked information hoping that it would draw an investigation.'
Sanders said the White House is confident that Barr, who she insisted has not given the White House any lead time on his decisions, will do the right thing for the country.
'This attorney general is going to make the best decision for America,' she said on Fox News.
Trump said last week that he wants the report to come out. He's seen here talking to reporters on the tarmac on Sunday evening before a flight back to D.C.
Democrats were meanwhile demanding that Barr and Mueller come before Congress to explain their conclusion that Trump didn't obstruct justice.
The White House countered on Monday and said that everyone who was 'involved in the process of trying to take down the president' testify under oath.
‘The failure to find obstruction means that no obstruction was written into the report for a reason. But let's not forget where that came from. That came from leaks and accusations, I believe that started with Jim Comey, leaking to lots of folks, saying that he specifically leaked information hoping that it would draw an investigation,' Kellyanne Conway told reporters.
She mocked a tweet former FBI director James Comey sent of himself standing among the redwoods in California, saying it was 'self-aggrandizing' and he doesn't deserve a 'hero's welcome' or a book tour.
'But maybe we’ll have to hear from him again. Maybe he should go get a lawyer. Maybe he should be brought in,' she said. 'Maybe he should be asked what happened again under oath.'
Sanders said that Comey, as well as and former intel chiefs from the Obama administration should be held accountable.
‘I think any of the people that were involved in the process of trying to take down the president,' she told reporters. ‘The fact that they spent two years trying to delegitimize the president’s victory in 2016 is disgusting, and there are a lot of people that should answer questions.'
She said, ‘If Congress is so gung-ho to call people up to the Hill, the list I would start with are Comey, Clapper, Brennan and other people in the FBI who perpetuated this absurd lie and this absurd idea that the President of the United States was somehow a foreign agent and colluding with another government.
‘Let’s not forget that all of this interference in the election took place under the Obama administration. They knew about it, and they did nothing to stop it.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
