Russia Investigation Heating Up

On Wednesday, special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into whether President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow during the 2016 election reportedly set its sights, for the first time, on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A new report from NBC News said Mueller is scrutinizing what, and how much, Trump knew about the Russian-backed campaign to hack into the Democratic National Committee in the summer of 2016, and whether Trump had any role in the radical pro-transparency group WikiLeaks' subsequent dissemination of the stolen emails.

Tampering with a witness, just one more obstruction charge to add to his list:


Donald Trump reportedly berated his former White House communications director after she admitted to telling "white lies" on his behalf.

Hope Hicks resigned after testifying for nine hours before the House intelligence committee as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

She told investigators that she occasionally had to tell white lies to appease the president, but insisted she told the truth about relevant Russian matters.

A long time aide to the US leader, who worked at the Trump Organization before going to serve as press secretary for his presidential campaign, she was nonetheless scolded by Mr Trump for her admission.

The President is said to have asked Ms Hicks "how she could be so stupid," CNN's Erin Burnett reported. The news anchor suggested that "was the final straw for Hope Hicks."

"Why didn't you stick to the story we made up!?"

Nice one Donald

It will be a nice little nugget to recall if the Bern decides to run again, I'm having my doubts that he will.
