Trump: I can do whatever I want with the Justice Department
CBS NEWS Last Updated Dec 29, 2017 2:48 AM EST

President Trump told The New York Times Thursday he thinks special counsel Robert Mueller will treat him fairly -- but left his options open regarding his dealings with the Justice Department.

Speaking with a Times reporter in a spur-of-the-moment, half-hour interview at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, with no aides present, Mr. Trump said he thinks Mueller is "going to be fair" to him in Muller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible cooperation by some in the Trump campaign with Moscow's efforts.

9. Trump is stuck, he has to act innocent or admit guilt. Mueller beat him in every way...

5. Furthermore...

When asked whether he would order the Justice Department to reopen the probe of Hillary Clinton's emails, Mr. Trump seemed to refer to the Russia investigation, telling the Times, "I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department. But for purposes of hopefully thinking I'm going to be treated fairly, I've stayed uninvolved with this particular matter."

Many Trump backers assert he has the power to order that Justice Department investigations be started -- and ended.
