Multiplying fronts of legal warfare, both criminal and civil, with everyone from the post powerful prosecutor in the country to everyday american citizens. The team of special Counsel Robert Mueller is negotiating for an interview of donald trump even as the New York Times reports the president is laying a reshuffle of his legal team so he can confront mueller more aggressively. The times reporting mr. Trump has weighed allowed in recent days to Close Associates whether to dismiss his lawyer, ty cobb. The paper adds his lead lawyer, john dowd, has contemplated leaving his post because he has concluded he has no control over the behavior of the president. Huh, wonder what made him think that . The Washington Post meanwhile reports the president s legal team recently reached out to star conservative litigator Theodore Olson only to be turned down. Instead the president added former u. S. Attorney joe digenova, whos peddled conspiracy theories that the fbi and department of justice are so
Center. Chad, the question obviously a lot of folks want to know is when could florence hit the u. S. . Probably the first effect would be some time noon on thursday. Maybe a little earlier, outer bands kind of coming in with lashing 75mileperhour winds, but the problem is not really that were 115 right now. Its the problem of whats going on from here. The water is getting warmer, erica. Its now 85 degrees under the storm. And its forecast to be 145 and right behind here, 150mileperhour storm. Even if it loses some strength on the way into land, its going to have this massive bubble of water called a storm surge.

A question if i may about independent agencies. Congress has established several independent agencies. We believe they are essential to enforcing our laws and safeguarding consumers. Congress requires the president to have good cause to remove the heads of these agencies, to insulate them from political interference. You have objected to this limit on the president s power and struck down the for cause requirement in a case involving the Consumer Financial protection bureau. The d. C. Circuit disagreed and overturned your decision. If the president can fire the heads of independent agencies for any reason, whats to prevent political interference in these independent agencies . Senator, i have followed the humphreys executor precedent. I referred to it as entrenched. It allows independent agen
You and gloria were reporting last week. It seems to sound a more definitive note about the line the president s legal team will draw with the special counsel. My colleague and i had been reporting this is the stance of the president s legal team. A week ago we reported that they believe Robert Mueller hasnt met the threshold to interview the president. They dont want the president to sit down with Robert Mueller and his team because as ty cobb, the president s lawyer, has said on the record he believes its a perjury trap, and they want to prevent this from happening. They want to prevent any type of fishing expedition. The sources weve spoken to have said that first of all, they believe that the president shouldnt be treated like anyone else. Second of all, they believe that Robert Muellers team hasnt shown the evidence, the proof that they have to sit down to talk to the president to understand his state of mind. The president s legal team argues that theyve handed over all of the do
