Ep 70 (5/23/18) What do we know about the Mueller investigation, one year in? Guest: David Corn

TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent

It's been one year since Special Counsel Robert Mueller began his investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives in the 2016 election and (at least as far as public perception goes) the picture is foggier than ever. According to an online survey of registered voters released Wednesday by the polling group Navigator, 59 percent of Americans don’t believe Mueller has uncovered any criminal activity, despite five guilty pleas and 17 criminal indictments already handed down by the special counsel and his team. With the constant barrage of breaking news on the Russia investigation leaving even professional political pundits flummoxed, it’s not hard to see why Mueller’s efforts are being misunderstood if not outright ignored by anyone who isn’t a political junkie. But with the Russia probe casting an elongating shadow over the Trump presidency and throughout Washington, now more than ever, making sense of it all matters. In this week’s “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent takes a look at what we know about the Mueller investigation one year in, with David Corn, Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones and the co-author of “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump.”
