NBC News reported, “Five current and former U.S. officials said they are aware of classified intelligence suggesting there was some sort of private encounter between Trump and his aides and the Russian envoy, despite a heated denial from Sessions, who has already come under fire for failing to disclose two separate contacts with Kislyak. Kushner also denied through a spokesman that he met privately with Kislyak that day.”

The encounter occurred at the Mayflower Hotel, and it has drawn the scrutiny of both the FBI and Congressional investigators.

The fact that Trump can be directly and personally connection to potential collusion with Russia explains why the President is doing is doing everything that he can to interfere with and slow down the investigations.

If Trump was a participant in the meeting with Russia, he was no plausible deniability. The President will be directly and personally involved in the scandal. It will mean that Trump’s statements that he had nothing to do with Russia were lies.

The campaign didn’t limit their involvement to accepting help from Russia. The Republican nominee himself may have been personally colluding with a hostile foreign power to undermine US democracy.

The FBI investigation of Trump makes a case for a potential obstruction of justice charge against this president even stronger.
