Rudy Giuliani, Jay Sekulow and two other Trump lawyers went to the U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday and Wednesday for an early look at the 448-page report into whether Trump's team colluded with Russia and whether Trump obstructed the investigation, which was released to the public on Thursday.
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyers spent at least 10 hours reviewing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election before it was made public, two of the lawyers told Reuters on Friday.
The lawyers said they gave up their cellphones and other electronic devices before being led into a Justice Department conference room in a restricted area known as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility , designed to ensure secret information stays secure. The disclosure followed news reports this week that Justice Department officials discussed Mueller's conclusions with White House lawyers before the release."It gave us some confidence the people who hate him will hate him, the people who love him will love him, and the people in between were not going to be persuaded," he said.
