President Donald Trump said he is 'an innocent man' and also claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is 'illegal.' The president lashed out days after his former lawyer Michael Cohen testified to a congressional committee.
President Donald Trump on Sunday said he is"an innocent man," and also claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is"illegal."
He claimed incorrectly that Cohen had testified to a congressional committee last week to reduce his three-year prison term. Cohen noted during his testimony that any so-called Rule 35 motion he files to have his prison sentence reduced would be contingent on information he is sharing with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, not on the congressional hearing.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said Sunday on ABC News's"This Week" that he believes that Trump obstructed justice. Nadler, D-NY, also said his committee, which would lead any impeachment effort against Trump, will request documents from more than five dozen people in the president's circle, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and top Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg.
