Trump Is Asking Witnesses About Their Interviews With Robert Mueller In a recent YouTube video, it was reported that former President Donald Trump has been reaching out to witnesses who have testified before Special Counsel Robert Mueller, inquiring about their experiences during the interviews. This information originally surfaced in a New York Times article, highlighting Trump’s concern over the ongoing investigation into potential collusion related to the 2016 election.
Summary of Key Points
Witness Inquiries: Trump reportedly asked individuals such as Reince Priebus, his former Chief of Staff, whether Mueller was "nice" to them during their questioning. This behavior suggests a level of anxiety about the scrutiny he is under.
Mueller's Awareness: Robert Mueller is said to be aware of Trump’s outreach to witnesses but it appears he is not taking any immediate legal actions against it. Current reports indicate that Trump’s actions are not necessarily illegal, which may reflect a strategic approach to gauge what witnesses might divulge.
Investigation Developments: The report raises concerns for Trump, especially with new information coming to light about Erik Prince’s secretive meetings with a Russian diplomat which could potentially bolster the case against Trump, particularly regarding collusion claims.
Growing Pressure: Analysts suggest that the pressure is mounting on Trump, as the investigation appears to be narrowing its focus on allegations of collusion. This shift could mean Mueller is close to concluding his investigation and compiling critical evidence.
Potential Legal Risks: If Trump’s inquiries cross into instructing witnesses or altering testimonies, he could face serious legal repercussions. The current inquiries seem benign, focusing on casual questions rather than direct witness tampering.
