It's no surprise that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is currently investigating the Trump family finances in relation to Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
Both the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller are looking at the financial transactions between the Trump family, Trump associates, and Russians for potential money laundering.
Donald Trump trashed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for not protecting him from the Russia investigation and hinted that he would fire special counsel Robert Mueller if he tries to investigate Trump or his families finances.
"Mr. Trump said Mr. Mueller was running an office rife with conflicts of interest and warned that investigators would cross a red line if they delve into Trump family finances..."
"If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I’m not going to take you.’ It’s extremely unfair — and that’s a mild word — to the president."
"They're going to get somebody, and they're going to get him for something. And they're probably going to go to jail."
"If President Trump were to fire Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and then got Special Counsel Mueller fired, I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings."
Donald Trump’s fans and conservative pundits describe his mess of a “foreign policy” as transactional. Trump’s supporters claim this is part of his “genius” during their more intense “dear leader” moments.
The investigation into Kushner – Trump's son-in-law and most trusted advisor – appears to have escalated yet again.

President Trump is so out of touch with reality that he thinks he can threaten special counsel Robert Mueller into clearing him on the Russia scandal.
Friends of Donald Trump are telling reporters that the President is seriously considering terminating Russia special counsel Robert Mueller.
The real risk here is interference by the White House or by [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions’ appointees, not some issue involving WilmerHale.
Trump is already planning to use an obscure ethics rule to publicly undermine and smear Robert Meuller, who was appointed the special counsel to investigate the Russia scandal.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was not about the special counsel until after the deputy attorney general has signed the letter making the appointment.
If there is anything the past week has taught us, it's that Trump's campaign promises weren't totally empty after all.
The Trump White House was given no advance notice of the special counsel appointment, and it is being reported that Trump was completely blindsided by the announcement.
Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein has appointed former FBI Director Robert Muller to serve as special counsel to oversee the investigation into Trump's ties with Russia.
This is the America that Trump is trying to normalize, an America where there is a hierarchy of rights based on who you are or how you pray.
