McGahn believes he 'did not incriminate' Trump in wrongdoing, lawyer says

White House counsel believes he "Did not incriminate" in wrongdoing during his 30 hours of interviews with special counsel , McGahn's lawyer has said in recent days, according to The Washington Post.

McGahn's attorney, Bill Burck, reportedly told Trump's legal team that McGahn did not accuse Trump of criminal behavior during his three sit-downs with Mueller.

Burck said McGahn would have resigned from the White House if he had seen the president engaged in criminal wrongdoing.

The New York Times this week reported McGahn has been cooperating with Mueller in his probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Mueller has spoken to other officials with proximity to Trump, including his former chief of staff, , former senior adviser Stephen Bannon, and former press secretary , the Post reported.

Trump's lawyers are reportedly unsure of what information McGahn shared with Mueller over his months of interviews, which began in November, according to the Times.

"Disgraced and discredited Bob Mueller and his whole group of Angry Democrat Thugs spent over 30 hours with the White House Councel, only with my approval, for purposes of transparency," Trump tweeted Monday.
