E. Efforts to fire Mueller
Obstructive act (p. 87): Former White House Counsel Don McGahn is a ācredible witnessā in providing evidence that Trump indeed attempted to fire Mueller. This āwould qualify as an obstructive actā if the firing āwould naturally obstruct the investigation and any grand jury proceedings that might flow from the inquiry.ā
Nexus (p. 89): āSubstantial evidenceā indicates that, at this point, Trump was aware that āhis conduct was under investigation by a federal prosecutor who could present any evidence of federal crimes to a grand jury.ā
Intent (p. 89): āSubstantial evidence indicates that the Presidentās attempts to remove the Special Counsel were linked to the Special Counselās oversight of investigations that involved the Presidentās conduct[.]ā
F. Efforts to curtail Mueller
Obstructive act (p. 97): Trumpās effort to force Sessions to confine the investigation to only investigating future election interference āwould qualify as an obstructive act if it would naturally obstruct the investigation and any grand jury proceedings that might flow from the inquiry.ā āTaken together, the Presidentās directives indicate that Sessions was being instructed to tell the Special Counsel to end the existing investigation into the President and his campaign[.]ā
Nexus (p. 97): At the relevant point, āthe existence of a grand jury investigation supervised by the Special Counsel was public knowledge.ā
Intent (p. 97): āSubstantial evidenceā indicates that Trumpās efforts were āintended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the Presidentās and his campaignās conduct.ā
