DECEMBER 3, 2017 \u2013 In an exclusive live interview, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)<\/strong> tells \u201cMeet the Press\u201d moderator Chuck Todd that \u201cwhat we\u2019re beginning to see is the putting together of a case of obstruction of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see this in the indictments, the four indictments and pleas that have just taken place, and some of the comments that are being made. I see it in the hyper-frenetic attitude of the White House: the comments every day, the continual tweets. And I see it, most importantly, in what happened with the firing of Director Comey and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to lift the cloud of the Russia investigation. That\u2019s obstruction of justice,\u201d shares Feinstein.<\/p>\n

On the Trump White House, the California senator notes: \u201cThe concern rises with the day. \u2026 There is a kind of instability, unpredictability. It\u2019s one issue after the other.\u201d Watch the full interview.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mueller is \u201cmaking progress,\u201d said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)<\/strong> exclusively to Todd. \u201cWhat we do know is there were conversations during the transition period. During the transition period there\u2019s still only one president and that was President Obama, so those conversations should not have confirmed, should not have been taking place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president should have no comment whatsoever on either of these investigations. And the only thing that he should be doing is directing all of his staff and associates to fully cooperate,\u201d said Collins. Watch the full interview<\/a>, including her vote on tax reform.<\/p>\n

Corey Lewandowski<\/strong>, former Trump campaign manager, and David Bossie<\/strong>, deputy campaign manager to Trump for the general election, joined Todd live on set exclusively to discuss their new book, \u201cLet Trump Be Trump.\u201d Todd asked both if Flynn references in the book were scrubbed out, noting \u201cthere are exactly two.\u201d \u201cHe didn’t even make acknowledgements. And you listed every other person in the campaign in the acknowledgement,\u201d said Todd.<\/p>\n

On the Access Hollywood tape, Bossie says \u201cit\u2019s clear that it is\u201d Trump on the tape. Watch the full interview.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The administration has been under a shadow from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
