Get Ready: Robert Mueller Is Preparing A Report On Trump’s Obstruction Of Justice

Bigger news: Mueller is preparing a report on Trump obstruction of justice


The most important part of The Washington Post story isn’t the news that Trump is not officially a criminal target of the investigation. It’s that Mueller is preparing a report about whether the president’s personal actions since taking office constitute obstruction of justice.

More from the Post report:

The special counsel also told Trump’s lawyers that he is preparing a report about the president’s actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice, according to two people with knowledge of the conversations.

Mueller reiterated the need to interview Trump — both to understand whether he had any corrupt intent to thwart the Russia investigation and to complete this portion of his probe, the people said.


Clearly, Trump is still the central figure in Mueller’s investigation. The fact that Mueller told the White House that Trump isn’t under criminal investigation is essentially meaningless. It could change at a moment’s notice as the special counsel continues to gather more evidence.

The fact that the president remains an active target suggests that Mueller is still working to compile more information. Getting the president to sit down for an interview is key to that process.

Once the president opens his mouth in a potential special counsel interview, he’ll likely give Robert Mueller all the information he needs to bury Trump, if not criminally then certainly politically.
