Mueller Speaks: ‘We Would Have Said So’ If Trump Were Cleared
Special Counsel Robert Mueller
spoke publicly for the first time about his investigation into President Donald Trump on Wednesday, drawing a clear contrast between the contents of his 448-page report and the summary provided two months ago by Attorney General William Barr. In particular, Mueller emphasized that his team’s findings did not exonerate Trump on the question of obstruction, and clarified that he did not indict Trump because he thought it was unconstitutional to do so for a sitting president. Some have also interpreted Mueller’s remarks as a hint that it was now time for Congress to take up impeachment proceedings.
To decipher what this all means, Jim Braude was joined by Don Stern, who worked alongside Mueller at the Department of Justice and in private practice at Hale and Dorr, and Bruce Singal, who worked alongside Mueller in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston.
Mountaineer David Breashears On The Everest Hiker Deaths
Eleven people have died during this year’s Everest climbing season so far, with many blaming the deaths on overcrowding and long lines at the top of the mountain – where low oxygen levels wreak havoc on the human body. But so far, Nepal’s board of tourism says it has no plans to limit who can make the trek. But this isn’t the first time that crisis has broken out on the world’s tallest peak. Jim Braude was joined by mountaineer and filmmaker David Breashears, who was there in 1996 when a blizzard killed eight other hikers, and who suspended filming to assist in rescue efforts.
