“The president is not under investigation by the special counsel,” Sekulow told NBC’s Chuck Todd. “We stand by our story, which President Trump confirmed Friday in a tweet acknowledging he is under investigation for obstruction of justice,” Post executive editor Martin Baron said in a statement. When Wallace pointed out that Sekulow had appeared to agree in his answer that the president is under investigation, the lawyer grew flustered. Asked on the CBS show “Face the Nation” how he could know Trump is not under investigation, Sekulow responded: “Because we’ve received no notification of investigation.”He added that he could not “imagine a scenario” where Trump would be under investigation and not be aware of it. On Fox, Wallace asked Sekulow if Trump believes the law allows for a president to be indicted.
