Mr Trump did not identify who "the man" was but appeared to be questioning the integrity of Deputy Attorney-General Rod Rosenstein - the Justice Department's number two official who appointed Mr Mueller on May 17 and wrote a memo to Mr Trump that was critical of Mr Comey's performance after the former director was sacked.
ABC News reported Friday that Rosenstein has privately acknowledged he may need to recuse himself from the Russian Federation investigation but has yet to seek a formal opinion on the matter.
The Post reported that the obstruction of justice investigation of the president began days after James Comey was sacked as the FBI Director on May 9.
President Donald Trump confirmed Friday, June 16, 2017, he was under investigation and appeared to take aim at a senior Justice Department official, in a tweet that seemed to encapsulate his frustration with the ongoing focus on Russia's involvement in the 2016 election.
Trump allies have accused Mueller of having a conflict of interest.
In another early morning tweet, Trump said that despite months of investigation no proof has been presented of any collusion he may have had with the Kremlin.
It culminated in a tweet Friday from President Donald Trump.
He has tweeted four times Friday morning, also lashing out at the news media and insisting that economy is doing well "despite the phony Witch Hunt" he spent some of Thursday decrying on Twitter as well.

While accusing the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration of indulging in illegal acts, Trump had said that "there was never a special counsel appointed to oversee the acts of his Democrat predecessors". "Nice", Trump wrote on Twitter.
He had likened the appointment of the special counsel with the "single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history". The White House used the memo to justify Comey's firing.
Comey has also said Trump asked him to drop an investigation into ties between Michael Flynn, who advised Trump during the campaign and briefly served as national security adviser after Trump's inauguration, and Russian officials.
The president made a tweet about his defeated Democratic opponent complaining that the probe is unfair.
But Trump has publicly said he was going to fire Comey regardless of Rosenstein's recommendation.
"Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russian Federation are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?" he asked at one point.

On "The Fox News Specialists", Mike Huckabee said the Russian Federation probes - and the related leaks - are only happening because people are trying to "discredit and delegitimize" the Trump presidency. "Mueller is setting up a dragnet of obstruction, financial questions and every aspect of Trump's life and his associates lives.very unsafe", Gingrich said.
