Erin Burnett: NYT report about Trump is 'explosive'

Erin Burnett speaks to a panel about the New York Times report that President Donald Trump asked then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker if a US attorney he appointed could oversee an investigation tied to himself after the US attorney in question had already recused himself from the probe. Trump denied the allegations.

[@pennsyadmini1654]

There are too many coincidences to make this not true. And Trump's behavior makes him look guilty. Look at how many people he's associated with who have been tied to Russia. Most of them then lied repeatedly about it. Manafort could be in jail for life because of that. Why would he deliberately lie to Mueller after promising to cooperate? Only two possibilities - he is angling for a Trump pardon OR he is more worried about the Russians killing him (or his family) than his freedom. Regardless, Trump's big legal worry is going to be what is found in NY. He is a known criminal when it comes to NY stuff (legendary in NY for decades - even in the 80s when I lived there). If they have solid evidence of it, he's toast (unless they let him off the hook because it would look bad to put a president in jail). His kids are in legal jeopardy as well. Look at how they let Ivanka and Jared off the hook when they clearly committed fraud with the condo sales.
