A report Wednesday that an investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election now includes an examination of whether President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct justice raises several legal implications.
The Washington Post,
citing officials, reported Wednesday night that Robert Mueller, the
special counsel now overseeing the investigation is looking at Trump's
conduct.
The report states that an investigation into
Trump for possible obstruction of justice began just "days" after the
president fired FBI director James Comey, on May 9, citing people
familiar with the matter. That would mean it began before Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on May 17.
