It has been obvious at least since President Trump fired former FBI Director James B. Comey — a shocking decision that he acknowledged was done with “this Russia thing” in mind — that Trump is being driven to bizarre and desperate lengths by the FBI investigation into possible ties between his presidential campaign and Russia.
The days may be numbered for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
After insisting he had “nothing to hide” and acknowledged four meetings with Russians, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner will return for second day of closed-door interviews with lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee.
The Senate Intelligence Committee will privately question senior White House Jared Kushner on Monday as congressional investigators examine claims that President Trump’s campaign team colluded with Russia to influence the presidential election.
The head of Donald Trump’s outside legal team appears to be stepping aside amid reports that Trump is reshuffling his circle of lawyers representing him in the Russia investigation.
President Trump’s administration has taken the extraordinary steps of looking for ways to undermine the team hired by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate whether the Republican’s campaign team colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 election.
In a stunning admission, President Trump said he would not have appointed Jeff Sessions as attorney general if he had known Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
President Trump said it would be “a violation” for the Justice Department’s special counsel to delve into his personal finances.
