Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Thats right, katy. You know, the president tweeted sunday in response to our article that he is not worried about don jr. , but people who have been talking to him on the phone say in fact he is worried about his son. He is worried about a lot of aspects related to this russia probe, which is getting closer and closer to him, to his family, to his associates, to his orbit. Its uncomfortable at the moment. There is some concern that he has that his son may be found to have violated the law somehow, you know. One person speculated maybe his son could have perjured himself in interviews at some point. I mean, the president just doesnt know at this point what could be in store for his son. It is a source of concern and its one of many things thats fueling what were seeing, which is a real public lashing by the president of mueller again and again and again, tweeting more than he has before about the wit
raises red flags. may i add one thing? joyce nailed it in terms of conspiracy law. the other important point here, katy, is that not all conspirators have to start on the same day. if you and joyce decide to rob a bank, i could join your conspiracy two weeks later. we know from the gru indictment that a lot of the activity, the russian intelligence officers trying to hack into the dnc started in march and april of 2016 two or three months before the trump tower meeting. that doesn t mean that folks couldn t have joined the conspiracy at that meeting. you can join a conspiracy while it s in the process. so there is lots of legal questions and lots of evidence that the mueller folks have to look at. phil, a lot has happened in the last few weeks in terms of the mueller investigation and the changing stories. could the president be feeling a bit boxed in, more box in now than he has yet? for me? no, phil.
