So far, White House lawyers have done their best to insulate Trump from reality, in part to prevent him from blowing up his own defense.
Multiple sources told CNN that the president was “so convinced of his impending exoneration that he is telling associates Mueller will soon write a letter clearing him that [he] can brandish to Washington and the world.” Despite evidence to the contrary, both Trump and his legal team have maintained this rosy outlook. But when White House lawyers come face to face with the special counsel this week, their ruse could fall apart at a critical moment, leaving Trump scrambling for a foothold.
It’s unclear what will happen when Trump, who one source told the Post is “living in his own little world,” is forced to confront reality.
