and sekulow can see signs the end is near in the mueller investigations. we ve had all the meetings but this one is of significance. white house says everyone who works there and who mueller has asked to interview has nongone in for interview. one of the last ones happened earlier this week when white house counsel don mcgahn sat down for his interview. white house has also finished turning over documents requested by the special counsel. now no request to interview the president or vice presidenty point. we just received this from sekulow and he said, quote, we will not discuss our periodic communications with the spreshl counsel. wolf, of course the trump lawyers know that mueller could still come back to ask for more interviews and for more documents. and it s important to note that there is no requirement for mueller to actually give them any information. they are hoping he s going to show them his cards, but there is ta chance he won t do that. the bottom line is the president and
justice department bruce orr was demoted last week. he concealed meetings with those behind the anti-trump dossier. he says the department of justice and fbi cannot ignore the multiple problems that have been created by obvious conflicts of interest. the new revelations acquire the appointment of a special counsel to investigate. now, hallie, i want to emphasize the other point that sekulow is making. this is not about bob mueller according to sekulow. this has nothing to do with bob mueller or mueller s team. so important to keep that in mind. but taking a step back here, hallie, it goes back to the tweet a little bit that you read, this is clearly getting under the president s skin. i think there s real concern about the fact that this investigation continues on now. we re heading into the new year. it s something the president feels is overshadowing his agenda, his presidency. he has a lot of confidence around him saying to him, you ve got to get tougher. your legal team has to get
ongoing russia probe. i issued a statement today that the department of justice and the fbi cannot ignore the multiple problems created by these obvious conflicts of interest. new revelations reveal we need ha special investigation. independent of what bob mueller does. that was the personal voice of sekulow, these concerns stem from at least three people connected to the investigation that have been fired or demoted because of perceived personal bias. with me now to talk about this. the point being they are not calling on mueller to be investigated, calling on the fbi. so what s your interpretation of this? is this a way for them to think maybe this is a way they can get closer to mueller? well, it s the same thing,
and sekulow has raised questions about jimco comey s actions. an illegally leaked memo of conversation that s he had with the president of the united states were the basis for which a special counsel was put in place. let me be clear and fair. lawyers have legal sfrats run on multiple tracks. they can cooperate with a probe while laying a ground boriwork challenges. let s go clear. a second special counsel would require evidence of a crime, number one. and a conflict, number two. and something:>c interest warrants, number three, under the rules. even if you presume there is a conflict for the doj investigating its own lawyer with ties to the trump-rush zi÷; dossier, neither the fox news report have said what the alleged crime would be. because couldn t afflicts lead
investigate the doj and the fbi. today, the lawyer citing a monday night fox news report that a senior doj full christopher orr isw staffer for the firm behind the trump dossier. house intelligence committee staff uncovered that orr met last year with christopher steele, the former british spy. and that he also met with glenn simpson. an academic russia expert and the wife of bruce orr, worked for fusion gps last year. sekulow saying the department of justice and fbi cannot ignore the multiple problems that have been created by these obvious conflicts of interests. they called for a second special counsel during a period when some have been attack special counsel mueller s probe. i asked sekulow if this new
