President Trump's legal team and allies will mount a defense of the president during the Sunday shows this week after Trump acknowledged being under investigation for firing FBI Director James Comey.

Jay Sekulow, an attorney on Trump's legal team who was reportedly hired by the White House to push back against special counsel Robert Mueller, will be appearing on nearly every Sunday show this week.

Sekulow, the chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), argued in a Fox News op-ed last Friday that the case against Trump had disintegrated with Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee this month.

"With his testimony, Comey’s case against President Trump collapsed like a house of cards," Sekulow argued. "Not only did Comey’s testimony clear President Trump – admitting under oath that the President was not under any investigation – his testimony unmasked Comey’s real motivation in all of this."

Sekulow is expected to offer a full-throated defense of Trump on Sunday and cast doubt on Mueller's ability to lead the special counsel investigation, which has reportedly expanded to include preliminary inquiries into possible obstruction of justice. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), a vocal ally of Trump, is also slated to make an appearance.
