WASHINGTON Lawyers for Donald Trump, spurred by the presidents own inquiries, are exploring his power to grant pardons to aides, family and himself as a means of undermining special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, The Washington Post reports.
The Post, citing an unnamed source familiar with the queries, said the president himself had asked advisers about the constitutional power, although another source noted that Trump sought only to further his understanding of the privilege. Trumps lawyer John Dowd called the claims nonsense.
Trumps lawyers are also looking into Muellers potential conflicts of interests, perhaps as a way of removing him from the Justice Departments investigation, according to a Post article that cited several of Trumps legal advisers.
Also on Thursday, various outlets reported Trumps longtime personal attorney and lead counsel on the Russia investigation, Marc Kasowitz, would be stepping into a smaller role. Kasowitz made headlines last week after he threatened a stranger in a string of profane emails, saying things like watch your back, bitch, and Im on you.
