US President Donald Trump has defended his record in a series of tweets which also lash out at the investigation into Russian interference in the election.

The term "witch-hunt" is how Mr Trump characterises the probe into Russia’s election interference and possible ties to his campaign associates.
His advisers have told how the president is increasingly angry over the investigation, yelling at television sets carrying coverage and insisting he is the target of a conspiracy.
