President Trump salutes a Marine as he walks off Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House last week. Witch Hunt — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 16, 2017“The president is not under investigation by the special counsel,” Sekulow told NBC’s Chuck Todd. Those conversations, however, occurred before Comey was fired and before the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation. When Wallace pointed out that Sekulow had appeared to agree in his answer that the president is under investigation, the lawyer grew flustered. Sekulow responded that Trump couldn't be indicted “because there's not an investigation.”“Oh boy, this is weird,” Wallace responded, noting, again, that Sekulow cannot know there is no investigation.
