.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump's cabinet messes manage to get even worse.
We learned last week that federal prosecutors aren’t just scrutinizing Ryan Zinke, Donald Trump’s former Interior secretary, they’ve also begun presenting evidence to a grand jury. Zinke is reportedly accused of lying to investigators about his handling of a rejected casino license. Around the same time, we learned new details about Alex Acosta, Trump’s Labor secretary, who allegedly broke the law while shielding a politically connected sex trafficker.
Trump sought to intervene in the federal prosecutors’ probe could propel further lines of inquiry by lawmakers into whether he has tried to obstruct the investigation into his business dealings. This is very much in line with our previous understanding of the story, except now, it appears the House Judiciary Committee believes it has evidence that Whitaker, the former acting attorney general, lied under oath – a dynamic they’re now willing to acknowledge to the press.
