Drop the Mike

Did President Trump ask FBI Director James Comey, in a February 2017 meeting, not to pursue a Trump adviser who had misled investigators about conversations with Russians? If Trump made that request, it could be evidence of obstruction of justice, particularly in light of Comey’s subsequent firing. Trump denies it, but Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, seems to think that it may have happened. In a series of confused interviews on Monday, Giuliani alternated between positing that Trump made the request, stipulating that Trump denies it, and defending the request as a routine plea to a law enforcement official.
