President Donald Trump reportedly wants to meet with investigators working on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe because he believes he can convince them it is actually a “witch hunt.”.
But Trump’s lawyers fear Mueller’s team will lead the president to incriminate himself, particularly on potential obstruction of justice, one of the lines of investigation by the special counsel.
Trump’s critics accuse him of trying to disrupt the Russia collusion probe.
"Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!".
And Trump’s longtime personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen appears to have flipped against the president after his own arrest.
Trump denies knowing about the meeting until reports of it taking place first emerged in mid-2017.
