Former U.S. Attorney PreetBharara says Donald Trump 'Not out of legal jeopardy' as president continues to face federal investigations

Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned in his report to Attorney General William Barr on Friday without bringing any indictments against anyone in President Trump's inner circle at the White House, but investigations into Trump and his campaign continue elsewhere, including a federal probe by the Southern District of New York. The prosecutor who used to run that office said Sunday that Trump is not in the clear until these probes are also completed.

Admitting that he has no personal knowledge of what federal investigators are currently looking into, Bharara cautioned against Trump supporters celebrating the end of the two-year Mueller probe, and against the president's detractors from seeing doom and gloom in the fact that no additional indictments were brought by the special counsel.

Bharara described the SDNY team as"aggressive and tough and independent and fair and apolitical," adding,"If there’s things that they think are worth pursuing and charging, they will do so. And if that means that there's legal jeopardy for people around the president, I guess we'll have to see.” “I think that [the Mueller report] certainly is not the end-all, be-all for legal problems and ethics problems for the president,” Noah Bookbinder, executive director at the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Newsweek.
