Earlier this afternoon, President Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow made headlines after declaring that President Trump was not under investigation from a counsel looking into whether or not Russia interfered with the 2016 Presidential election. According to information from the New York Times, Sekulow’s statement contrasted with some of the President’s tweets in which he asserted that he was under scrutiny. Sekulow is one of the lawyers hired by Mr. Trump to represent him in the ongoing Russia case.
The New York Times recently contended that the current state of affairs regarding the Trump-Russia situation and the denial of investigation from Sekulow indicates an attempt to conceal certain information from the public. Many people appear to subscribe to the notion that President Trump’s advisers colluded with Russia to sway the election results in the President’s favor. Additionally, people have asserted that the firing of James Comey was employed as a tactic to halt the investigation into Russia interference, although there has not been a shred of evidence to support either one of these accusations. One could argue that if the President and his advisers had interfered with the 2016 election and colluded with Russia in any way, there would be overwhelming evidence to prove as much. After all, fixing an election is no easy feat.
