Special Counsel Robert Mueller has requested documents from the Justice Department as part of his investigation into possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Among the documents are those related to Trump firing then-FBI Director James Comey and to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the Russian probe, ABC News reports.

Mueller’s team is interested in the interactions between Justice Department officials and the White House.

Mueller is trying to determine whether Trump or any other administration official wielded improper influence over an ongoing investigation.

Sessions said last week that he is willing to cooperate with the investigation.
