effort, which i thought was a plucky way to put it. mr. mueller would not say how the country handled that nightmare or even whether it's yet been resolved and whether it's over. >> the special counsel mueller, i want to ask you something important to the nation. did your investigation evaluate whether president trump could be vulnerable to black mail by the russians because the kremlin knew that trump and his associations lied about connections to russia related to the trump tower deal? >> i can't speak to that. >> he can't speak to that. could trump be vulnerable to black mail because trump and associates were lying about the deal and the kremlin knew it and as adam schiff put it, they might have tape recorded conversations with the trump organization about that deal that the president was lying about. they could have black mailed him that way. did you look into that?
