Trump has officially responded to the IG report this morning on both Twitter and on Fox and Friends.
First, here’s what he had to say on Twitter:
FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who headed the Clinton & Russia investigations, texted to his lover Lisa Page, in the IG Report, that “we’ll stop” candidate Trump from becoming President. Doesn’t get any lower than that!

The IG Report is a total disaster for Comey, his minions and sadly, the FBI. Comey will now officially go down as the worst leader, by far, in the history of the FBI. I did a great service to the people in firing him. Good Instincts. Christopher Wray will bring it proudly back!

He went on to quote Mark Levin twice and retweet Fox and Friends, who was doing part of their show on the White House lawn.
“Why in the world didn’t Barack Obama fire this guy (Comey)?” asks Mark Levin!

“Donald Trump was 100% right to fire James Comey.” Mark Levin

He then said this:
Wow, the highest rated (by far) morning show, @foxandfriends, is on the Front Lawn of the White House. Maybe I’ll have to take an unannounced trip down to see them?

Sure enough, Trump went out there and began doing an interview with Fox and Friends. He gave them a long interview, but here’s what he had to say about the IG report:

The AP tweeted the following about the interview:
BREAKING: Trump says officials at FBI `were plotting against my election'
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 15, 2018
BREAKING: Trump says he would like to talk to special counsel Mueller but the Russia probe `seems to be very biased'
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 15, 2018
And lastly he weighed in a bit on Russia:
President @realDonaldTrump: "Obama was told by the CIA or somebody, the FBI, about Russia. He never did anything about it. How come he never gets blamed? In September, just before the election, my election - he should've done 'cause maybe I would've won by more." pic.twitter.com/FOReqbSkNc
