With Hope Hicks leaving and the Kushner story and the new conspiracy leading directly to Trump from Mueller's point of view, you're starting to see the beginning of a cornered Donald Trump --and what is he capable doing at the expense of the world or the United States or the consumer to save himself," he said.
