Is President Donald Trump above the law? 🇺🇸

Donald Trump's lawyer says he cannot be found guilty of obstruction of justice because of his rights as US president.

Over the weekend, Trump posted a tweet that implied he knew his former adviser Michael Flynn had committed a felony when he directed the former FBI director James Comey to go easy on him.

Some in Congress suggested that, regardless of the criminal case, Trump could face articles of impeachment related to his possible obstruction of justice.

Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports from Washington.

When you find a man completely blinded by hate, what could stop him from not thinking he is above the law?

In order to be a good liar, you have to be smart and need a good memory. Trump doesn't have any of those qualities and is now starting to fall into his own web of lies. I love it! :D
