Special consultant for trump investigation for obstacle: Report

Washington: A special lawyer investigating possible Russian involvement in the 2016 elections is now investigating whether President Donald Trump's law has been banned, the Washington Post reported in a report. The action taken by Robert Lawrence, a special lawyer to investigate the behavior of Trump, is a major turning point in the nearly years of research conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which focused on Russian mediation during the recent presidential campaign and said any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin reported on Wednesday night. The obstruction-of-justice investigation of the President began days after Comey was fired on May 9, according to sources with the knowledge of the development. 

Mueller's office has taken up that work, and the preliminary interviews scheduled with intelligence officials indicate that his team is actively pursuing potential witnesses inside and outside the government. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates. Trump had received private assurances from former FBI Director James B. Comey starting in January that he was not personally under investigation. However, that changed shortly after Comey's firing, the sources said. Daniel Coats, the director of national intelligence, Mike Rogers, head of the National Security Agency (NSA), and Rogers's recently departed deputy, Richard Ledgett, agreed to be interviewed by Mueller's investigators as early as this week. The investigation has been cloaked in secrecy, and it is unclear how many others have been questioned by the FBI, the sources told The Washington Post. 

The NSA said in a statement that it will "fully cooperate with the special counsel" and declined to comment further. The office of the director of national intelligence and Ledgett has not responded. In response to the report, Trump personal lawyer Marc Kosovitz spokesman Mark Carroll said: "The president's information is FBI leak, bad, troublesome and illegal." The Comey last week witnessed the Senate Intelligence Committee, clarifying his conversations with the president, who asked him for "credibility" and suggested that his job as president of the FBI would have given such a pledge. Mueller, who headed the FBI for 12 years and was Comey's predecessor in the post, has the confidence of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The barrier of justice's offense leads to a trump in the Congress, some Democratic lawmakers have called on and promised to guarantee the realities.
