“One of the crazy nuggets in a deeply reported book by the N.Y. Times’ Michael Schmidt — Donald Trump v. the United States, out tomorrow — is that President Trump mulled the idea of ‘settling’ with special counsel Robert Mueller,” Axios reports.
Writes Schmidt: “At one point, as the investigation seemed to be intensifying,Trump told White House counsel Don McGahn that there was nothing to worry about because if it was zeroing in on him, he would simply settle with Mueller. He would settle the case, as if he were negotiating terms in a lawsuit.”
