Executive Ethics

President Trump is working the phones to undercut Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.

The Trump-Russia investigation and Special Counsel Mueller must be protected. Activists across the country are banding together in a campaign entitled Trump Is Not Above the Law in support of Mueller and to push back —via media work, actions in states, questions at town halls this August and more -- against any effort to remove him or interfere with the special counsel investigation. This network of activists is present in over 180 locations around the nation, has more than 200 initial point persons and is growing daily.

Senators left Washington late Thursday with a hopeful sign that they will not tolerate any effort by President Trump to derail Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia’s meddling in last year’s election and the Trump campaign’s possible involvement in it.

The impaneling of a grand jury to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election hammers home the imperative that the Trump Administration must not interfere with Robert Mueller’s investigation or that of the grand jury. Regardless of whether the President wants to continue to call Russian election interference “fake news,” he and his Administration must take this criminal investigation seriously and offer investigators their full cooperation.

What is collusion? Is collusion a crime?

The journalistic and legal drumbeats tormenting President Trump are continuing to intensify, and there are signs in Washington today that the president is about to make a desperate attempt to silence them.
