Trump questions impartiality of Russia investigation chief
Robert Mueller
Trump says Mueller, a former FBI director, is ‘good friends’
with James Comey and that his Russia investigation staff ‘are
all Hillary Clinton supporters’

Donald Trump has questioned the impartiality of special counsel
Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russia’s
meddling in the US election and possible collusion with the
Trump campaign.
In an interview with Fox News aired Friday morning, Trump argued
that Mueller, a former FBI director, is “good friends” with
James Comey, Mueller’s successor at the spy agency whom Trump
fired on 9 May. Trump later acknowledged he took this step with
the Russia investigation in mind.
Analysis What does Robert Mueller's team tell us about the
Russia investigation?
Seasoned lawyers with a depth of experience that includes the
investigations into Watergate, Enron and the bombings of the US
embassies in east Africa won’t be intimidated by the intense
spotlight, experts say

When George W Bush was president, Mueller and Comey worked
together – Mueller as FBI director and Comey as deputy attorney
general.
Trump also said that some of the staffers that Mueller has hired
for his investigation “are all Hillary Clinton supporters”. US
news reports say some of these staffers have made campaign
contributions to Democratic candidates.".

Trump is so full of lies I don't think he would know the truth
if it slapped him in his ugly face.

Donald Trump Jr. was told campaign meeting would be with
‘Russian government attorney,’ according to emails
"For months, President Trump and his aides have forcefully
rejected any suggestion that they sought or received help from
Russia to win last year’s election.
But the release Tuesday of a 2016 email exchange in which the
president’s eldest son welcomed the assistance of a “Russian
government attorney” offered the clearest contradiction of the
White House’s denials — marking an escalation in the controversy
that has engulfed the Trump presidency.
The email exchange was aimed at setting up a June 2016 meeting
between Donald Trump Jr. and a Kremlin-connected lawyer who was
said to have damaging information about Democratic candidate
Hillary Clinton. The meeting at Trump Tower was also attended by
Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, and then-campaign
chairman Paul Manafort.
During the email exchange, Trump Jr. was told by an intermediary
that the “high level” information he would be offered about
Clinton was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr.
Trump” and would be “highly useful for your father.”
The younger Trump appeared to relish the opportunity. “If it’s
what you say I love it especially later in the summer,” he wrote
back.".
