Special counsel team has floated idea of subpoena for Trump
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIThe special counsel leading the Russia investigation raised the prospect in March of issuing a grand jury subpoena for US President Donald Trump, his former attorney says.
Attorney John Dowd tells The Associated Press that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team broached the subject during a meeting with Trump’s legal team while they were negotiating the terms of a possible interview with the president.
It is not immediately clear in what context the possibility of a subpoena was raised or how serious Mueller’s prosecutors were about the move. Mueller is probing not only Russian election interference and possible coordination with Trump associates but possible obstruction of justice by Trump.
