Papadopoulos a nobody. Listen to Donald Trumps personal attorney jake sekulow. Let me say this. First of all, George Papadopoulos served on a committee. A lot as you know, campaigns have committees with various people on it. He was not a Senior Adviser to the Trump Campaign. Now they have a significant problem on their hands because in order to believe that what sekulow says, youd have to ignore what donald trump himself said on march 21st, 2016 when he named the members of his Foreign Policy Advisory Team in an interview with the Washington Post.

Investigation. Sara murray has details on that. Months after president Donald Trumps reported efforts to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, he is still fuming about the russia investigation. But now hes directing his ire at Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein. Rosenstein oversees mueller and the investigation. President trump has been airing his frustration about rosenstein. They say that seems like bluster. But it does give you a window into the fact that one year into trumps presidency, he is still extremely preoccupied by this investigation and looking for any way to bring a conclusion to it swiftly. Now, we did get a comment from ty cobb, the white house special counsel and in his comment he said this. We do not find it to be a questions dense that there is an john lawsuit of onslaught of false stories circulating in what appears to be speculation about already reported buysace and corruption.
