Analysis: Michael Cohen’s allegation underscores that the Mueller report is not case closed
Jay Sekulow, Trump's private attorney, in 2015. By Amber Phillips Amber Phillips Reporter for The Fix covering Congress, statehouses Email Bio Follow May 20 at 6:29 PM Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell recently declared “case closed” on questions about President Trump and Russia. But we’ve been getting glimpses into congressional investigations that show it’s anything but, and that Congress actually has much to investigate from the Mueller report.
Sekulow had previously denied the allegation. But at the very least, we now know it’s possible that Cohen wasn’t acting on his own to protect Trump from appearing conflicted on Russia while running for president, right as Russia was interfering in the election to help Trump win. Was there a team working to protect Trump from that politically inconvenient business deal?
Not that Mueller didn’t want to know. Mueller tried to get Trump and his attorneys to talk to him about this, but neither did, The Post reports. To that end, even a Republican-led investigation appears to still have questions. The Senate Intelligence Committee is still investigating Russian election interference, and it recently issued a subpoena to force Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. to come back and answer questions from senators, in what senators framed as a follow-up to Trump Jr.'s original interview with the committee last year.
