NYT: Robert Mueller Turns Focus To WH Communications Director Hope Hicks | Morning Joe | MSNBC In a recent segment of Morning Joe, the discussion revolved around new revelations from the New York Times regarding the Mueller investigation, specifically focusing on former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks. According to sources, Mark Corallo, who previously served as a spokesman for Trump's legal team, plans to share crucial details with the Mueller probe that could suggest potential obstruction of justice.

Key Points from the Discussion:​

• Upcoming Interview: Corallo is set to narrate a conference call involving President Trump and Hicks, wherein Hicks allegedly mentioned that emails regarding discussions of receiving damaging information on Hillary Clinton would "never see the light of day." This troubling comment raises significant concerns about possible obstruction.
• Response from Hicks: A lawyer for Hicks has firmly denied the allegations, stating she never suggested concealing any documents. This denial emphasizes the contentious nature of the events described.
• Legal Implications: Apuzzo, a reporter from the New York Times, highlighted that the nuances of these communications are under keen scrutiny by Mueller’s team. Their investigation will assess whether misleading public statements constitute obstruction of justice.
  

  Broader Context:​

  The conversation also touched on the general indifference of the American public towards the intricate details of this investigation. Many everyday citizens are more preoccupied with tangible issues like employment and the economy than with the unfolding political drama. However, historical parallels to past investigations, like Watergate, remind us that significant events can erupt from seemingly mundane issues if left unchecked.
