President Trump may have given special counsel Robert Mueller a new gift this week: tweets that could help build an obstruction of justice case against him.
Trump’s tweet lashing out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions and saying that he should quash Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference would seem to feed an obstruction of justice case — following reports that Mueller is looking at the president’s messages on Twitter closely.
Legal analysts say that a single message would not form the basis for an obstruction charge.
