Lawyers for President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. insist they arent worried about special counsel Robert Mueller.
But half a dozen people in contact with the White House and other Trump officials say a deep anxiety has started to set in that Mueller is about to pounce after his self-imposed quiet period, and that any number of Trumps allies and family members may soon be staring down the barrel of an indictment.
Then there are the presidents own tweets, which have turned back to attacking Mueller after a near two-month break. Thursday morning, Trump launched an oddly detailed condemnation of the special counsel and his team: They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want, adding that the investigators dont
care how many lives the[sic] ruin.
The presidential taunts, launched during a week in which Trump has been sequestered with his lawyers to discuss how to respond in writing to a series of Muellers questions, have only added to the intrigue that something big is about to happen.
