White House braces for Trump indictment

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of President Donald Trump’s former advisor Michael Flynn has ratcheted up tensions in Washington, with the White House girding for possible obstruction charges against Trump himself.

Flynn, the president’s former national security advisor, was the most senior of the four people charged so far in Mueller’s investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to swing last year’s presidential election, and whether Trump tried to block the probe by firing FBI director James Comey.
