Trump legal team member Jay Sekulow lays out his view of "the Washington Post theory of the case" against President Trump



"There is a serious constitutional issue here," he explained. "This is the Washington Post theory of the case: That the president of the United States, after being advised by his attorney general and the office of the deputy attorney general determined to move James Comey from the FBI directorship. If the Washington Post leaks were correct, the president would be under investigation for taking an action that the Justice Department asked him to take."



"It is not a serious constitutional question, it is an easy one. That is impossible. The president can not be investigated -- or found liable -- for actions taken he clearly has to do under the Constitution," he concluded.
