US President Donald Trump has sent a flurry of tweets calling on his Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 election.

Mr Trump's stance on the Russia probe has been loud and clear for some time, but his latest tweets raise fresh questions about whether or not the President is attempting to obstruct justice.

Already, Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff has attacked the President over his tweet, calling it an attempt to obstruct justice in 'plain sight'.

Mr Trump has repeatedly denied any form of collusion with Russia, but on Wednesday (NZ time) tweeted that collusion is not actually a crime.
