Jed Shugerman was quoted in a Boston Herald article about the possible impact of the Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh takes the bench this morning, joining the court in time to consider a number of consequential cases this term — including one that could strengthen President Trump’s pardon power.
But Robert Mueller has already acted to nullify the impact of such a ruling on the ongoing probe of potential Russian coordination with Trump’s campaign.
“Mueller has already confronted this issue and strategized around it,” said Jed Shugerman, Fordham law professor.
