To the Editor:Re “Trump Team in Dark Over What McGahn Said in Mueller Interviews” (news article, Aug. 20):Having learned that Donald McGahn, the White House counsel, was interviewed extensively by Robert Mueller, President Trump was “ rattled ,” you say, because he didn’t know exactly what Mr. McGahn had divulged. In frustration, Mr. Trump “lashed out ” on Twitter. On this, if nothing else, Mr. Trump seems to be right. But even if President Trump had done so, that would have been entirely proper. Mr. Trump could reasonably have decided that such a “lie” did not warrant prosecution of Mr. Flynn, a military man who had devoted his entire career to serving the United States.
