Trump back to combative self after appeal for compromise

President Donald Trump needed barely a day after a soaring State of the Union speech to revert to his usual combative self, branding an opponent a "hack" and investigations into his allegedly suspicious dealings with Russia "harassment."
He labelled Adam Schiff, the chairman of the committee, "a political hack who's trying to build a name for himself."
Schiff has been a frequent target of Trump, who has referred to him on Twitter as "Schitt" and "Little Adam Schitt."
Schiff said that the committee wanted to know whether "any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates."

"It really does hurt our country."
Trump says he has only had legitimate links with Russian real estate and other partners, calling Mueller's efforts a "witch hunt."
But when it takes on a partisan tint..., more intent on becoming a forum for invective against the president and against the administration, the American people expect better."
