Closing take

The broader problem for Trump is not just one bad headline. It is that the legal pressure keeps widening, with prosecutors no longer just collecting documents but apparently preparing to test criminal theories in front of a grand jury. That is the sort of procedural move that makes lawyers nervous and political allies start practicing their distance. The man who built a movement out of yelling “witch hunt” is now watching the machinery of a real one keep grinding forward.
