Russia investigation

"Turns out all along it was two Nigerian men in #MAGA hats who hacked the DNC & rode shirtless on horseback w Putin to mar-a-lago," Representative Matt Gaetz tweeted.

Shortly after news of the Mueller investigation's conclusion broke, Trump Jr. tweeted out: "#CollusionTruthers." 

"The Mueller investigation is but a fraction of the president's troubles," Bradley Moss, a national security lawyer, told Newsweek.

"I am reviewing the report and anticipate that I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel's principal conclusions as soon as this weekend," Attorney General William Barr wrote to lawmakers.

Six former associates of President Donald Trump have been ensnared by Robert Mueller's investigation.

The absence of "collusion" in special counsel Robert Mueller's now-completed report, a former federal prosecutor said, "may mean that Mueller was unable to find sufficient evidence to prove that others participated in that conspiracy."

President Donald Trump repeatedly complained about the cost of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. So what was its total cost?

"I think that more indictments are coming, and I think they'll be broad-based and there'll be a general conspiracy indictment," said Dean, President Richard Nixon's White House counsel.

"Even though I believe Mr. Trump is morally unfit to be president of the United States, I'm not rooting for Mr. Mueller to demonstrate that he is a criminal," the former FBI director said.

"The President must be free to engage in discussions with foreign leaders without fear that those communications will be disclosed and used as fodder for partisan political purposes," the White House counsel wrote in a letter to congressional committee chairmen.

Rumors of banishment swirled after Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's lawyer, made a series of missteps in interviews with NBC's "Meet the Press" and CNN's "State of the Union" in January.

Kushner's lawyer Abbe Lowell also expressed concern that Mueller's report could be interpreted in a partisan way by lawmakers in the "big white dome."

Lawyer attacks president over "Tim Apple" confusion and claiming it has been proven there was no collusion with Russia.

"It's callous, it was hostile and totally unnecessary," Kevin Downing said about the additional sentence, amid yells of "traitor" directed at Manafort.

"There may be grounds for removal from office or there may be grounds for indictment after he leaves office that the Congress discovers," Schiff said.

Donald Trump's former campaign chief Paul Manafort could face several more years in prison, depending on what the judge in D.C. decides.

"It did seem that the sentence maybe was much more than perhaps other people get for bigger crimes."

Sentencing guidelines had called for Manafort to spend up to 24 years in prison.

"He has to be careful. They may think: 'Here's this rich guy who got caught and the president can't get him out so why is he more special than us?'"

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that U.S. "internal political games, of course, concern our country."

Democrats, of course, largely support impeaching Trump.

Ellis will decide if Manafort will effectively spend the remainder of his life in prison.

The former Trump campaign chairman and political consultant indicted in 2017 as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation could receive up to 24 years in prison.

"We see that foreign intelligence services are seeking to bolster their efforts on the Russian front," Putin warned.

Brennan said he expected "the final indictments, as well as the report to the attorney general" very soon.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced the hiring of an investigations director with "significant" experience pursuing international Russian organized crime.

Ty Cobb's comments came as House Democrats ramped up their investigations into the president, including two new wide-ranging inquiries launched on Monday.

"There have been so many investigations like these that their significance has been devalued," Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told CNN that Ivanka Trump, who was spared from an initial round of document demands that included her brothers, could "conceivably, certainly" be added to the list.

"The Mueller Report is essential reading for all citizens concerned about the fate of the presidency and the future of our democracy."
