Trump's legal team prepares for showdown with Mueller

President Donald Trump's lawyers are preparing for a legal showdown with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources familiar with their thinking.

Trump's legal team is bracing for the dramatic possibility that Mueller would subpoena the President, setting up a collision that could force a lengthy court fight and test the legal limits of the President's power all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Mueller has raised the possibility of a presidential subpoena in at least one meeting, according to two sources. But some of the President's legal advisers are gambling that Mueller would not go that far. The Washington Post first reported on the subpoena threat. Ref. CNN

As Robert Mueller writes his report, a potential battle brews over obstruction of justice

As special counsel Robert Mueller wraps up his Russia probe, investigators have focused on conflicting public statements by President Donald Trump and his team that could be seen as an effort to influence witnesses and obstruct justice, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The line of questioning adds to indications that Mueller views false or misleading statements to the press or to the public as obstruction of justice.

That could set up a potential flashpoint with the White House and the Trump legal team should that become part of any final report from the Mueller investigation. Ref. CNN.

I really hope that Mueller's report goes to the next stage of prosecution and not just something to read over by curious minds for political gain.

Mueller's office disputes BuzzFeed report that Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office disputed an explosive story from BuzzFeed News as "Not accurate" Friday night, after the news outlet reported the President had directed his personal attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, for which Cohen was later prosecuted.

"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," said a statement from Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller's office.

It's highly unusual for the special counsel's office to provide a statement to the media -- outside of court filings and judicial hearings -- about any of its ongoing investigative activities. Ref. CNN.

House panel authorizes subpoena for Mueller report. The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved a subpoena to obtain the full confidential report from special counsel Robert Mueller, sending a warning to Attorney General William Barr not to redact Mueller's report and setting the stage for a clash between Congress and the Trump administration.

Wednesday's vote, which was divided along party lines, comes the day after an April 2 deadline House Democrats set for Barr to provide the full Mueller report to Congress. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler now has the ability to issue a subpoena for Mueller's unredacted report as well as the underlying evidence collected during the 22-month investigation into Trump's team.

I'm glad that congress isn't just letting Mueller's report collect dust. It isn't over for Trump, he needs to be investigated.
