Over the course of several hours, Lewandowski slowly — and perhaps unwittingly — added movie-like color, and a few new morsels, to Mueller’s dry narrative of Trump’s decision to lean on a trusted confidant to carry out a special mission that all the president’s men and women had refused to execute for fear of breaking the law.
The cloak-and-dagger details included Lewandowski taking down careful notes in the Oval Office, sticking them in a safe at home, and trying once to schedule a meeting with Sessions outside the Justice Department — and its visitor logs — only to be frustrated by Sessions canceling.
Trump asked Lewandowski to do that after then-White House counsel Don McGahn declined to fire Mueller at Trump’s direction, according to Mueller’s report.
