President Trump on Thursday offered praise for a newly released book from Fox News legal analyst and commentator Gregg Jarrett that claims there is a scheme to “frame” Trump.

“Congratulations to @GreggJarrett on The TREMENDOUS success of his just out book, ‘The Russia Hoax, The Illicit Scheme To Clear Hillary Clinton & Frame Donald Trump,'” Trump tweeted.

“Already number one on Amazon. Hard work from a brilliant guy. It’s the Real Story of the Rigged Witch Hunt!”

The book appeared as No. 3 on Amazon’s best-seller list as of Thursday morning, just behind “Fear: Trump in the White House” by veteran journalist Bob Woodward.

Sixth on the list is “Liars, Leakers and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy,” Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s book that Trump promoted from the Oval Office last month.

Trump in recent days has escalated his attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which is examining ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia.

On Wednesday, the president called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to immediately end the Russia probe.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further,” Trump tweeted.

He then accused Mueller of being “totally conflicted,” adding that “his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA.”

ABC News reported Wednesday that Trump’s barrage of tweets earlier in the day came after he learned that Mueller wants to ask him about obstruction of justice.
