Giuliani: Mueller plans to wrap up Trump obstruction probe by Sept. 1

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said special counsel Robert Mueller intends to end his investigation into whether Trump obstructed the Russian investigation by Sept. 1, The New York Times reported.
Mueller shared his timeline for the investigation a couple of weeks ago during negotiations over whether the president would be willing to be interviewed by Mueller’s team, Giuliani told the Times in an interview.
According to the Times, Giuliani’s comments appeared to be a way for him to publicly pressure Mueller as the two sides negotiate a potential interview.
Giuliani urged Mueller to wrap up the investigation quickly, noting how former FBI director James Comey’s revelation about reopening an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server close to election day was blamed by Democrats for influencing the election, according to the newspaper.
