    An investigation into President Donald Trump's potential obstruction of the special counsel's Russia investigation is expected to wrap up by September, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani said.

    President Donald Trump’s lawyerRudy Giulianisaid that special counselRobert Mueller expects to wrap up the portion of his Russia probe focusing on the president’s potential obstruction by Sept. 1,The New York Times reportedSunday.

    The former New York City mayor told the Times that Mueller’s office gave the Trump team that timeline two weeks ago, amid negotiations on whether Trump would be willing to be interviewed by Mueller’s team, Giuliani said.

    The Times’ report suggested that Giuliani may be trying to put public pressure on Mueller by sharing that end date. Giuliani also urged that the larger investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election wrap up soon, warning that prolonging the probe risks influencing voters in the midterm elections in November.

    He reportedly cited former FBI Director James Comey as an example, pointing to Comey’s announcement, just days before the 2016 election, that he would reopen an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server, and how that act was blamed for her losing the White House.

    Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York, has made conflicting statements since joining Trump's legal team last month.

    The investigation into obstruction is only one part of Mueller’s probe, however, meaning the case wouldn’t necessarily end with its completion.

    A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment when reached by the Times.

    Giuliani joined Trump’s legal team last month, and in the weeks since has made statements that contradict Trumpand his former legal team.

    Earlier this month, Giuliani described himself as “not an expert on the facts, yet. I’m getting there.”

    Why do Trump's biggest fans still believe him when he lies? The answer is in the human brain

    John: This may be viable, but my brain works a little differently. Once I realize that someone has lied to me over and over I don't get confused as to what to believe or what not to. I just assume they're lying all the time.If they're willing to lie that frequently there's no point in believing anything they say.
