"Last week The Washington Post, reported that Mueller was widening his investigation to include “an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice.” This set Trump off with a daylong barrage of statements on Twitter, attacking the “phony story”; later he lamented “crooked H” and “Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia.”He started up again Friday morning:: “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt.” Whatever the truth may be, Trump is certainly behaving like a man who is under scrutiny and like one who is determined to defend himself every step of the way.This investigation is in the early stages, but Trump has no plans to wait for it to either condemn or clear him. He is taking a much more aggressive approach, one that in the end may do more harm than good."
