occurred in advance and provided a motive? or a quid pro quo in connection with the undermining of the american democracy that occurred with russian assistance during the campaign. you mentioned all of that stuff. but mueller s team told the president s lawyers, informed the president s lawyers he is not a criminal target of the investigation. he s a subject in this investigation. you can look at this two ways. the president can say you know, i m cleared of all this. or it could be mueller, you know, trying to give the president false sense of security. i think it s a distinctiontion without a difference in the effect of donald trump be able do his job on behalf of the american people. we ve seen chaos, crisis and confusion. nothing but distraction. all brought upon by trump administration and the bob mueller investigation. any prosecutor and bob mueller a
several russian oligarchs have been stopped and questioned by mueller s team in a twist that sounds like it comes out of a spy thriller at least one had his electronic devices searched whether his private jet landed in new york. apparently an effort to ensure he couldn t wipe his phone before investigators got to look at it. sources are telling cnn that mueller wants to find out whether those russians illegally funneled cash into donald trump s campaign. that is more evidence that they re digging deep in the potential flow of russia into the 2016 election. you know what they say, follow the money. we re learning for tonight about president trump s suddenly announced plan to send national guard troops to the border. the president signing the memorandum just tonight after his own administration spent the day ducking questions about how many troops, when they ll arrive, where exactly they ll be deployed, and what they ll be expected to do. all questions this administration ought to be abl
