Jay Sekulow, a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team, was a guest on various television networks Sunday morning. In addressing the recent Washington Post report that the president is under investigation, Sekulow repeated a consistent theme on each program: “The president is not under investigation.”

Many immediately pointed out that the denial by Sekulow seems to run contrary to a tweet by the president on Friday.

Is Trump under investigation? No one seems to know, but we are likely to have another week of “sourced” media reports, tweets from the president and posturing by every elected official who can find a microphone.
