In reply to the discussion: About Time-Breaking on CNN: "HOUSE NOW INVESTIGATING WHETHER TRUMP LIED TO MUELLER" [View all]kpete
(71,996 posts)Lawyers for the House suggested in a previous court filing that the grand jury material from Robert Muellers investigation could help them determine whether Trump was truthful in his answers to the special counsel.
Not only could those materials demonstrate the presidents motives for obstructing the special counsels investigation, they also could reveal that Trump was aware of his campaigns contacts with WikiLeaks, the lawyers wrote in the late September filing.
They added, Those materials therefore have direct bearing on whether the president was untruthful, and further obstructed the special counsels investigation, when in providing written responses to the special counsels questions he denied being aware of any communications between his campaign and WikiLeaks.
