During Sekulow’s interview with CBS’ Face The Nation, he clearly proclaimed: “The President is not under investigation.” He followed up, stating the Trump administration did not receive any intel to indicate President Trump’s role in any investigation regarding Russia or other matters. When Sekulow was asked about the President’s Friday tweet reading: “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director. Witch Hunt,” Sekulow said the tweet was crafted in response to a Washington Post article which alleged that Mr. Trump was under scrutiny from the Russia case. Sekulow continued, saying that the President would have gone into further detail, but was limited by the 140 characters on Twitter’s platform.
Moreover, former FBI Director, Robert B. Mueller has been appointed to lead the investigation into whether or not Russia interfered with the 2016 Presidential election. According to Sekulow, Mueller has not informed the President that he is a subject of the Russia investigation. However, Mueller’s requests for interviews with high profile officials indicates to some that the President’s actions could be under investigation. According to The New York Times, certain reports have “raised questions” into whether or not the President attempted to halt the Russia investigation. However, there has been no evidence to prove that President Trump engaged in such conduct.
