The Memo: GOP questions Trump's Mueller strategy

resident Trump and his allies are pushing back against the deepening probe into allegations of collusion with Russia, but the effectiveness of that strategy is in serious question even among Republicans.

Team Trump has repeatedly suggested that the Russia investigation is a witch hunt, and that special counsel Robert Mueller has conflicts of interest or is exceeding the original bounds of his investigation.

But Republican strategist Ryan Williams argued that Trump’s time would be better spent focusing on his policy agenda rather than voicing his resentment over the purported unfairness of the investigation.

“Let your outside counsel handle the issue, and as president focus on governing,” Williams advised, adding that Trump should act “as if all is well and there is nothing to be concerned about.”

Instead, he said, “the president continues to obsess about this investigation. That keeps it in the news and it raises questions as to why he seems fixated on this one subject.”
