Robert Mueller now wants phone records pertaining to Air Force One statement.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has sought phone records concerning the statement written aboard Air Force One defending a meeting between Trump campaign officials and Russians at Trump Tower last year that was set up by Donald Trump Jr., according to two people familiar with the investigation. 

Mueller has also asked the White House for documents and emails connected to a May 3 press briefing where Sean Spicer said the president had confidence in James Comey as FBI director, these people said. 

The request seeks to determine what White House officials – particularly Spicer – knew about the president’s plans to fire Comey in the days before it happened, according to one of the people familiar with it.The requests, first reported by the New York Times, are the latest indication that Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election is expanding to include what has happened in the White House since Trump took office, including questions of obstruction of justice. 

Most of the requests, one of these people said, focus on what happened inside the White House after Jan. 20.

The only reason that Mueller would want these records is to make a case that Trump purposefully released a false statement in order to deflect attention away from what really happened in those meetings.

These records could prove that Donald Trump was attempting to interfere in the Russia investigations, and to hide evidence from Mueller's team concerning Junior's Trump Tower meeting with the Russian lawyer.

That's obstructionism, and that is grounds for impeachment.
