Dem Sen Blumenthal: Trump Firing Mueller Reports Are ‘Further Evidence’ in ‘Credible Case of Obstruction of Justice’

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) reacted to reports from the New York Times and Washington Post that President Trump moved to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller are “further evidence” in a “credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the United States.”

Blumenthal said, “These reports are absolutely stunning, deeply frightening. Because they show, again, that the president will stop at nothing to protect himself from this obstruction of justice investigation. And they are evidence, those conversations with McGahn, and apparently, there are four sources. So, four people have some basis to believe that they’re true, are further evidence of obstruction of justice. There is a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the United States.”
