"Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russian Federation are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?"
"The tweet from the president was in response to the five anonymous sources purportedly leaking info to The Washington Post", Sekulow told NBC television's "Meet the Press".
Donald Trump lashed out at The Washington Post on Thursday, after the storied newspaper claimed Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller has widened his Russian Federation probe to examine whether the president attempted to obstruct justice.
Rubio says Trump firing former FBI Director James Comey hasn't impeded the FBI's or the Senate intelligence committee's investigations into Russia's role in the 2016 campaign.
President Trump said in May that he fired Comey in part because of his disclosures a year ago about the FBI's investigation into Clinton's private email server.
Mueller is also reportedly investigating whether Trump associates committed financial crimes. The White House used a memo he wrote to justify Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, but Trump's firing of Comey may now be part of the probe.

With a blind shot to the green, he went long into deeper hay, and his first hack at it moved the ball only a few feet. A whopping eight players are at 6 under, including world No. 4 Hideki Matsuyama and Louis Oosthuizen.
Trump won the election and in a recent tweet said "Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a awful candidate".
Trump predicted that Clinton's election would bring "an unprecedented and protracted constitutional crisis" because of the looming investigation and suggested Americans would not want to endure a second Clinton administration marred by scandal."The president's response was as it related to The Washington Post report".
In a tweet yesterday, Trump appeared to confirm that that he was being investigated for firing former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey.
The social media platform's 140-character limit barred Trump from adding more context, Sekulow said, though the president often uses a string of consecutive tweets to get his point across.
The ousted FBI director, while offering testimony in front of congress, confirmed Trump asked him to end an investigation into former National Security adviser Mike Flynn.
On Sunday, Trump again referred to the probe, but dismissed it as a "distraction". "That the president was not and is not a target of investigation". "Witch Hunt." It was the first time Trump had publicly acknowledged that he's under investigation. Trump fired Comey in early May.
