This is Orwellian doublespeak.

"Investigate" means "harass." There's no intent to do any fact-finding.

"Allegations" means "baseless accusations." Trump often employs the tactic of saying "people say" and then say something nobody has ever said before. It's a rhetorical device - appeal to anonymous authority - used to make people think this thought is widespread when it isn't.
