1/ A revealing passage in the redacted #MuellerReport states pretty unequivocally that Trump certainly tried to influence the investigation — multiple times, in fact.

But his efforts failed because people around him refused to follow his orders. vox.com/2019/4/18/1848…
2/ Trump asked then-FBI director James Comey to “see his way to” letting former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn off the hook from criminal investigation, but Comey didn’t do it.
3/ Trump told then-White House Counsel Don McGahn to call Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (then serving as acting AG over the Russia investigation) to remove Mueller from his appointment as Special Counsel, but McGahn didn’t do it.
4/ Trump told aides Corey Lewandowski and Rick Dearborn to tell Sessions to partly un-recuse himself and limit the investigation to Russian interference in future elections, not in 2016.

They didn’t do it.
5/5 Trump attempted to influence McGahn’s testimony to Mueller’s team to keep him from speaking fully about Trump’s efforts to remove Mueller, but McGahn didn’t listen to him.
