- The special counsel Robert Mueller’s move to subpoena the Trump Organization brings him ever closer to President Donald Trump’s personal finances — a “red line” Trump warned him against crossing.
- Trump said last year that he does not “make money from Russia.” But his son, Donald Trump Jr., wrote in a 2008 op-ed that a large chunk of the family’s wealth flows in from Russia.
- Mueller’s subpoena likely indicates the Trump Organization has something of value to prosecutors, and that they want to “leave no doubt publicly or to Trump [that] this is important to them,” said one legal expert.
The special counsel Robert Mueller’s reported decision to subpoena the Trump Organization for documents related to its dealings in Russia shows he is not only homing in on President Donald Trump, but that Mueller believes the company has information crucial to the Russia investigation.
Mueller, who was appointed to oversee the investigation last year, is probing Russia’s interference in the 2016 US election and whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Moscow.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
