Obama AG: Mueller has enough evidence to charge Trump with obstruction of justice

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller likely already has a case for obstruction of justice against President Trump, and is waiting to bring the case before a grand jury.

In an interview on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Holder expressed faith that the sprawling Mueller probe would result in more charges.


"Well I think that you technically have an obstruction of justice case that already exists," Holder said. "I've known Bob Mueller for 20, 30 years. My guess is, he's just trying to make the case as good as he possibly can."


During his appearance on the show, Holder also defended calls from Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer to make Trump's supposed dereliction of duty on confronting Russia over election meddling a campaign issue.
