WASHINGTON - Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating a period of time last summer when President Donald Trump seemed determined to drive Attorney General Jeff Sessions from his job, according to people familiar with the matter who said that a key area of interest for the inquiry is whether those efforts were part of a months-long pattern of attempted obstruction of justice.
