Donald Trump’s lawyers are locked in battle with Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, who has indicted 19 people over the past 13 months, five of whom have pleaded guilty. Now he is homing in on the President, whom Mueller wants to testify under oath about what he knows. If he agrees, the notoriously undisciplined President risks making a false statement, which could be a crime like the one that led to Bill Clinton’s impeachment. But if he refuses, Mueller could issue a subpoena, instigating a long, high-profile court battle. As that conflict grinds on largely out of sight, Trump is leading a brazen political campaign to discredit Mueller. The President paints the probe as an unconstitutional distraction that has dragged on and turned up nothing, while casting a pall over his achievements. In a memo sent to Mueller in January and published on June 2 by @ニューヨーク・タイムズ, Trump’s lawyers articulated an almost boundless view of executive authority. Trump tweeted on June 4 that he had an “absolute right” to pardon himself. Trump’s critics hear not just an echo of Nixon, but the kind of unchecked power Americans have bridled against from the moment they broke with the British monarchy in the 18th century. Spurred by his desire to discredit the Mueller investigation, Trump is putting America’s founding principles on trial, from its independent justice system to the separation of powers to the rule of law. It’s too early to say how the war on Mueller will end. But just as the post-Watergate period redefined presidential power in America, Trump’s vision of the office may well determine the contours of the American government he leaves behind.
