US President Donald Trump and son Barron make their way to board Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on June 17, 2017 in Washington, DC.
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer said on Sunday that Trump is not under investigation for obstruction of justice in the probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential race, adding that the president has not received any notification that he is being investigated.
And now his lawyer, Jay Sekulow, has made the freaky claim that is is not Trump's actions which were potentially unconstitutional, but rather the investigation into those actions itself.
In his Twitter post on Friday, Trump tweeted that he is being investigated and called the probe a witch hunt.
On CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Sekulow also said that he believed the president would finally explain whether or not there were recordings of his conversations with Comey, as Trump has also tweet-implied, sometime this week.
Sen. Marco Rubio says it's best for the country to let the FBI's investigation into Russian Federation meddling in the 2016 presidential election take its course, and the Florida Republican tells CNN's "State of the Union" that's what he'd advise President Donald Trump.
"I really - If I were the president, I would be welcoming this investigation", Rubio said.

Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.
Rosenstein is the only official who could fire Mueller, because Attorney General Jeff Sessions previously recused himself from the probe into Russian interference in last year's presidential campaign and whether anyone close to Trump colluded with the Russians.
Sekulow responded: "I can't read minds".
Wallace eventually concluded, again, that Sekulow didn't actually know whether the president was under investigation or not, and he didn't disagree. The subjects of the investigation only find out if charges are filed and they get a subpoena. Or perhaps it's better to say, Trump's lawyers (or his TV lawyer, legal activist Jay Sekulow) are having this discussion since no one else seems to have any question that he is. He can not in a Twitter statement include all of that in there. Rosenstein himself is reportedly "a mix of furious and amazed at Trump's tweets" attacking him, according to one lawyer who knows him. The result was that Rosenstein, a career prosecutor with no affiliation to Trump, unilaterally made a decision to appoint a special counsel and hired Mueller.
Both Coats and Rogers declined before the Senate intelligence committee earlier this month to answer questions about their conversations with Trump, but both said they had never felt urged by Trump to intervene in the Russian Federation probes.
He then insisted that "being investigated by the same department" which told him to remove Comey is "not constitutional".
The Senate intelligence committee is in the early stages of its probe and is looking at whether anyone involved in the campaign shared information with the Russians, said Senator Angus King of ME, an independent who caucuses with Democrats.
