On this week’s edition of the “Pod Save America” podcast, former Attorney General Eric Holder said he thought Special Counsel Robert Mueller was “getting pretty close” to an obstruction of justice case against President Donald Trump.
According to Holder, the firing of former FBI Director James Comey during the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s meddling of the 2016 election was cause for such a charge.
Holder said, “I’m obviously not aware of all the fact that Bob Mueller has, or that team has, but I have to say you are getting — I think —pretty close if you look at what the president himself has said about the reason for the firing of Jim Comey. Apparently the entreaties he made to a couple of people who are in the administration to go to Comey. I think you are getting pretty close to an obstruction case. It is certainly something that is worthy of investigation. And I think all the reports are probably correct that in fact he is being investigated for possible obstruction.”
