According to a bombshell report from The Washington Post, on the eve of Donald Trump’s six month anniversary of becoming president, he and his team of lawyers are trying to limit or “undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation.”

The administration is thinking of ways to prove there are too many conflicts of interest for Mueller and his team to do their jobs. Sources also told WP that Trump has been asking his advisors “about his power to pardon aides, family members, and even himself in connection with the probe.”

No president of the United States has ever pardoned himself.

Donald Jr. and Paul Manafort are going to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Jared Kushner will testify in a closed meeting.

Trump wa also “was especially disturbed after learning Mueller would be able to access several years of his tax returns.”
