Trump's Mueller problems deepen, worrying allies
Trump's problems are deepening after a dramatic week in the Robert Mueller probe, and even his allies are worried about what might come next.
Trump has become increasingly enraged about the special counsel's probe after a week in which his former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and affirmed his full cooperation with Mueller.
Mueller also stepped away from a cooperation agreement with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, accusing Manafort of lying. And the author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi publicized a draft plea agreement with Mueller, even as he rejected that deal.
"It is something that has again taken the president way off message, and it creates a sense of political doom or disaster," said one Republican strategist with ties to the White House. "It's hard to tell what you're dealing with - until you actually have charges."
Another GOP operative had an even pithier summation: "Darkness falling," the source said.
