Trump's attempts to affect the Russia probe mostly failed because the people around him 'declined to carry out orders,' according to Robert Mueller's team.
President Donald Trump barely influenced the Russia investigation, according to special counsel Robert Mueller's team.
Mueller's team outlined several key events it investigated relating to questions of whether Trump obstructed justice. Those include him asking former FBI Director James Comey to stop investigating former national security advisor Michael Flynn and ordering former White House counsel Don McGahn to remove Mueller, among other instances.
Comey and McGahn did not carry out the president's requests – which McGahn referred to as"crazy sh--," according to Mueller's report. The former White House counsel prepared to resign instead of following through on what the president wanted.
