“It was all an illegal attempt to overturn the election,” said President Donald Trump during a speech tonight about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russia interference in the 2016 elections.

Trump almost certainly has not read the report.

As if on cue: "Our radical Democratic opponents are driven by hatred..and rage. They want to destroy you," Trump tells the crowd. Which is of course what Democrats say about him.
