> Some of President Trump’s lawyers are exploring ways to limit or undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s 
> Russia investigation, building a case against what they allege are his conflicts of interest and discussing the 
> president’s authority to grant pardons, according to people familiar with the effort.
>  
> Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the 
> probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s
