When Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to probe Russian election meddling, Donald Trump told visitors in the Oval Office that the investigation would destroy his presidency.
"Oh my God," Trump said as he slumped in his chair, according to notes taken by assistant attorney general Jody Hunt and incorporated into the special counsel report released Thursday. "This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m f---ed."
