Trump’s attorneys told The New York Times that the notes about the president were a jewel in Mueller’s evidence that Trump may have obstructed justice.

Donald Trump’s lawyers have said that special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the Russia investigation, has comprehensive notes taken by a former White House staffer detailing the president’s behavior., Annie Donaldson, the chief of staff to former White House counsel Don McGahn, handed over detailed notes about the president’s conduct in the West Wing to the special counsel’s team.

The president fired Comey in May 2017, initially citing the former FBI director’s mishandling of the Justice Department’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email use. At the time, Comey was leading the probe into whether Trump campaign members colluded with Russian officials in 2016. His firing made Trump only the second president in history to dismiss an FBI director. In a subsequent interview with NBC, Trump said he was thinking of the Russia probe when he opted to fire Comey.

Trump has railed against Mueller and the ongoing investigation, which he calls a “rigged witch hunt.” Last week the presidenta quote from Republican Trey Gowdy, who said that “If thinking that James Comey is not a good FBI Director is tantamount to being an agent of Russia, than just list all the people that are agents of Russia - Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Rod Rosenstein who wrote the memo to get rid of Comey.”report, the special counsel values secrecy and anti-corruption.
