However, the [FBI cleared Clinton](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-fbi-email-comey.html) and recommended no charges in July 2016, and [reiterated its position in November](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/07/us/politics/hilary-clinton-male-voters-donald-trump.html) after the bureau discovered a new trove of her emails shortly before the presidential election. Trump’s tweets came after a report from [the Washington _Post_](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-trump-for-possible-obstruction-of-justice/2017/06/14/9ce02506-5131-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98%5Fstory.html?utm%5Fterm=.793001ca99c9) on Wednesday that said Special Counsel [Robert Mueller](http://time.com/4815826/chris-ruddy-donald-trump-robert-mueller-fire/?iid=sr-link1) has expanded his investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election to include whether Trump has obstructed justice. Trump [blasted the report](http://time.com/4819677/donald-trump-obstruction-of-justice-twitter/?xid=homepage) earlier on Thursday, saying that investigators were looking into obstruction of justice because “they made up a phony collusion with the Russians story” and “found zero proof.” Donald Trump Attacks Hillary Clinton Over Emails ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4820708/donald-trump-russia-investigation-hillary-clinton-obstruction/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4820708/donald-trump-russia-investigation-hillary-clinton-obstruction/"},"headline":"President Trump Attacked Hillary Clinton Over Her Emails.
