Anything that has been stated or said by hunters representative, ill have to refer you to his representatives. Thats not something that i will respond to. What i can say and i said it at the top, the Department Of Justice is independent. That is what the president believes. He believes this white house will not politicize the Department Of Justice. This was done under the leadership of a trumpappointed u. S. Attorney as you know. So im not going to add anything else to that. Martha id imagine well hear more along those lines.
