Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.
Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved “great pressure” on him.
The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.
In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s office sent a document to the White House that detailed 13 different areas that investigators want more information about. Since then, administration lawyers have been scouring White House emails and asking officials whether they have other documents or notes that may pertain to Mr. Mueller’s requests.
Among the 13 areas for which Mueller is seeking documents are those pertaining to that meeting Trump had with the Russian officials the day after he fired James Comey.
Mueller's team also recently questioned Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concerning the firing of James Comey.
You may remember how oddly important it was for Donald Trump to publicly state that James Comey informed him three different times that he personally was not under FBI investigation.
Well Donnie, you personally are most definitely now under investigation.
