Over the weekend, Sekulow declared that Trump is not under investigation, after the president condemned the investigation as a "witch hunt" through a series of tweets. Although he sidestepped a question about whether the special counsel would be legally bound to inform the president he's under investigation, the attorney insisted "I can't imagine a scenario where the president would not be aware of it". But on Sunday he was given a tall task: communicating the message that President Trump is not actually under investigation, even as the president tweeted Friday, "I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director!" "He wants to raise taxes and kill health care", Trump tweeted in a reference to Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Sekulow made numerous same arguments on the Sunday news shows, though he told Fox News Sunday that he couldn't read Mueller's mind and that he couldn't say with 100 percent certainty that Trump wasn't being investigated. "But the president does utilize Twitter and social media platforms and, again, the situation on Friday that created the five anonymous sources". He left the WilmerHale law firm last month to serve as special counsel in charge of the investigation. "In fact, to the contrary", Sekulow said on CBS's Face the Nation. Comey has since said he suspects the circumstances of his firing will be scrutinized by Mueller, putting pressure on Trump's supporters to deny any illegal intent - critical to an obstruction of justice case.
President Donald Trump has given his legal team a clear direction: Fight, fight, fight. "He's being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general and deputy attorney general recommended him to take, by the agency who recommended the terminations". "That's not why I'm asking you about it", Cuomo said. "No, he's not being investigated!" Rumors have run rampant about such an investigation after James Comey was sacked from his post very suddenly, leading to dramatic series of events which included Comey's testimony.

"You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!"
Former US attorney Preet Bharara, whom Trump fired in March after Bharara refused to resign along with a raft of other Obama-era Justice Department attorneys, slammed Trump's choice to pick the attorney for his team. The investigation has also reportedly expanded to include whether Trump tried to obstruct justice with the Comey firing. "This is a president that has utilized social media, that has revolutionized the whole concept of electioneering when it comes to the use of social media".
