Fmr. Prosecutor: Why Trump Could Now Be A Target Of Mueller Probe | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC In a recent episode of "The Beat with Ari Melber," the discussion centered around the ongoing Mueller investigation and President Trump's public remarks that suggest he may be trying to obstruct this inquiry. The episode, titled “Why Trump Could Now Be A Target Of Mueller Probe,” features insights from legal experts, including former prosecutors who dissect Trump's actions and statements amidst the investigation.
Key Highlights:
- Public Conduct and Legal Implications: The episode underscores the significant implications of President Trump's public statements calling for the Attorney General to stop the Mueller probe. Melber asserts that these moves could be seen as attempted obstruction of justice, a serious charge that echoes past presidential misconduct.
