'If something were to befall, in a criminal sense, Donald Trump Jr., I don’t know what his father is capable of,” Bharara said.
First son Donald Trump Jr. is in legal jeopardy based on his testimony around special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara said Tuesday.
“I haven’t seen all the evidence, as a former prosecutor I don’t like to second guess decisions and anticipate necessarily,” the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said. “I don’t know enough about what his intent was, I don’t know enough about comparing the putting facts with actual, particular words that he gave when he was testifying.”
Mueller has been investigating Trump Jr.’s role in a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians who promised damaging information on Donald Trump’s presidential election opponent Hillary Clinton. Bharara also spoke on CNN Monday regarding whether news that the president did actually dictate the statement his son gave on the Trump Tower meeting, puts Trump Jr. in legal jeopardy.He said that based on bits of information from meetings, statements and reports, “I don’t think any one of those things makes a clear cut case on obstruction or on some crime related to collusion, but taken in aggregate and in combination I think it ends up making a difference.”“There’s no wiggle room there.
