(Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)As top intelligence and law enforcement officials testify in front of Congress this week, one big question looms: Did President Trump attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation? It has also been reported that Trump approached Comey in February about ending the Flynn investigation, according to contemporaneous notes kept by Comey. The Washington Post's Adam Entous explains how President Trump asked two top ranking intelligence officials to publicly deny any connection between his campaign and Russia. We have now learned that Comey isn't the only top official whom Trump approached in an effort to free Flynn from his investigation. Precisely how the Flynn investigation might be so troubling for Trump is sure to be the subject of plenty of speculation, given Entous's report on Tuesday night.
