Two confidential letters from President Donald Trump’s legal team to special counsel Robert Mueller were leaked to The New York Times. The newspaper published both letters in full on Saturday.
In the letters dated June 23, 2017, and Jan. 29, 2018, Trump’s legal team presents a barrage of arguments and precedents for why Trump does not have to agree to an interview with Mueller. The extensive rationale, presented over the course of more than 20 pages in the most recent letter, amounts to a legal knockout punch to Mueller’s obstruction and collusion investigations.
