MSNBC’s Mika mocks Trump for tweeting ‘no collusion’ at 1 am: ‘Something keeping him up at night?’

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski noticed the time stamp on President Donald Trump's latest tweet denying collusion and calling the special counsel probe a "witch hunt" -- and she said his overnight ramblings were telling.

Trump blurted out an all-caps tweet -- "NO COLLUSION - RIGGED WITCH HUNT!" -- at 1:10 a.m. Thursday, less than 36 hours after his longtime attorney Michael Cohen implicated him in a guilty plea and his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was convicted on felony charges.

"According to federal prosecutors who say they have more hard evidence about the payments to women, assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Griswold said the trove includes records obtained from the April series of search warrants on Cohen's premises, including hard-copy documents, seized electronic devices and audio recordings made by Mr. Cohen along with text messages, messages sent over encrypted applications, phone records and emails," Brzezinski said.

Griswold, the assistant assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said prosecutors also had records related to Cohen-arranged payments by the publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid to alleged Trump mistresses -- and Brzezinski said the suspense was eating the president alive.

"A tweet from the president and, of course ... the timing of his tweets," she said. "Tweeting from 9:37 in the morning to 1:10 the next morning, Washington time. This came at 1:10 a.m. -- "no collusion, rigged witch hunt.'"

"Something keeping him up at night?" Brzezinski added.
