Blumenthal: 'Clearly' Trump is violating law against intimidating witnesses

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said on Wednesday that President Trump is "clearly" violating law against intimidating witnesses with his comments about his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

“Clearly there’s a violation here of Title 18 United States Code 1512 which stops and protects against intimidation of witnesses," Blumenthal said on CNN's "The Situation Room." "He would be prosecutable, but for his being president.”

“I believe a sitting president can be indicted… to stop ongoing criminal activity," he added.

Cohen postponed his congressional testimony Wednesday, citing alleged threats from the president and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
