Andrew Weissmann, one of the most prominent members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating Russia, let slip on Thursday that they were “trying to get rid of†President Trump, in part by laying a perjury trap to get him on record under oath.
Known as Mueller’s “pitbull,†Weissmann was heavily involved in the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort. He would step down before Mueller released his final report and strike a deal with a publisher for a book about his experiences on the special counsel.
He would also sign with NBC and MSNBC as a legal analyst, and appeared Thursday afternoon on MSNBC to comment on President Trump’s remarks earlier in the day on his acquittal by the U.S. Senate, where the president denounced the effort by political enemies to take him out.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman shared a video clip of the segment on Twitter, saying that “Weissmann just admitted what we always knew.â€
