Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said it remains a mystery why special counsel Robert Mueller did not prosecute Donald Trump Jr.
Blumenthal’s comments came Friday during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” He cited a “montage” of evidence against President Donald Trump’s son in the report.
“Another mystery here for me is, why did Bob Mueller not recommend charges against Donald Trump Jr. given the absolute montage of evidence against him?" Blumenthal said.
Newsweek said Trump Jr., appeared at greatest legal jeopardy over his involvement in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, where he and others met with Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
The president, in his written answers to Mueller, said he didn’t recall knowing about the meeting.
And Mueller wrote: "The investigation has not developed evidence that the participants in the meeting were familiar with the foreign-contribution ban or the application of federal law to the relevant factual context."
Blumenthal speculated that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York might be looking at Trump Jr. and could make their own decisions about any criminal liabilities.
