Last year, the U.S. Justice Department appointed a Special Counsel to investigate possible wrongdoing in the 2016 presidential election.

WITCH HUNT

The special Counsel is exploring possible links between Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.

This is a witch hunt like nobody’s ever seen before.

President Trump is using the term to discredit the investigation.

Special counsel have been appointed many times in the past.

Long ago, a witch hunt meant to find and punish people believed to be evil - even if they were not.

Here, it means an unfair campaign by one side against its political opponents.
