Russia, China and Iran tried to influence the US election in 2016. The comment was made by the Director of National Intelligence last week, and was hardly news to anyone that follows this kind of thing. However, the whole thrust of the investigation into the goings-on during the election center around Russian involvement, with the Mueller probe being tasked to investigate collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. You can see why the President sees this as a "witch hunt" when it is not a very broad or deep investigation of anything related to collusion with Russia, and Russia was not the only country involved.
So, we might ask ourselves who was colluding with China and Iran? Maybe there was no more collusion there than with the Russians, or maybe there was. Either way, we don't seem to be investigating that at all. The Chinese were involved with several local campaigns for office contributing money and getting caught at it. Terry McAulliffe, Virginia's own governor at the time was up to his neck in Chinese money, and he wasn't the only one.
