Last edited Fri Nov 27, 2020, 02:48 AM - Edit history (1)

A top prosecutor who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller investigations on Russia and Donald Trump says the US president should be investigated and potentially prosecuted when he leaves the White House.

Andrew Weissmann, an attorney who managed Mr Mueller’s two-year investigation into Russian-US ties, wrote in an op-ed that "Mr Trump's criminal exposure is clear.”

The New York Times article, published on Tuesday, was titled ‘Should Donald Trump be prosecuted?’

Mr Weissmann wrote: "As painful and hard as it may be for the country, I believe the next attorney general should investigate Mr Trump and, if warranted, prosecute him for potential federal crimes.”
