Trump suggests Mueller is behind Russia probe leaks
American President Donald Trump suggested Saturday (June 2) that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is deliberately leaking to the press documents about his probe into possible collusion with Russia.
"There was No Collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats). When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end? So bad for our Country," Trump tweeted after the investigation passed its one-year mark last month.
"Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?"

Solidarity in euro zone should not lead to debt union: Merkel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared on Saturday (June 2) to rule out debt relief for Italy, saying in a newspaper interview that the principle of solidarity among members of the euro zone should not turn the single currency bloc into a debt-sharing union.
Merkel made the remarks in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung when asked about a media report that the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and far-right League had planned to ask the European Central Bank to forgive 250 billion euros (S$350 billion) of Italian debt.
She said that while solidarity among members of the single currency bloc was important that principle "should not lead to a debt union." An Italian governing coalition of two parties generally seen as hostile to the euro took power on Friday, calming markets that had been spooked by the possibility of a new election that might have effectively become a referendum on whether to leave the single currency.
