Special Edition: The New York Times on Obstruction
This evening, the New York Times published a\xa0story\xa0with\xa0new details of significance to Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation regarding the President and obstruction of justice. Michael Schmidt reports, among other news, that President Trump instructed White House Counsel Don McGahn to attempt to prevent Attorney General Jeff Sessions from recusing himself in the Justice Department\u2019s Russia investigation. We put together a special edition\xa0podcast with Schmidt, and Lawfare\u2019s Benjamin Wittes, Susan Hennessey, Jack Goldsmith, and Bob Bauer to discuss what the story might mean for the future of the investigation. Warning: the audio is a recorded conference line and therefore somewhat rougher than usual.
