WASHINGTON, July 24 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he believed Moscow will work hard to sway November congressional elections toward Democrats and not his fellow Republicans, despite U.S. intelligence agencies' conclusion that Russia tried to put Trump in the White House in 2016.
"I'm very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely dont want Trump!" the U.S. president wrote on Twitter.
U.S. intelligence officials have said Russias efforts to undermine elections are continuing and now target the Nov. 6 congressional races.
Democrats need to pick up two seats to take control of the Senate and 23 seats to take the House of Representatives. Wresting control of a chamber would allow them to derail or stall much of Trumps policy agenda, while ushering in more aggressive congressional oversight and investigation of Trumps administration.

Oh, and Bob Mueller isn't going to save us.
