Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Special counsel Robert Mueller is expanding his investigation to include President Trump’s business interests and those of his campaign associates, according to a story in Bloomberg News.
The U.S. special counsel investigating possible ties between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in last year’s election is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump’s businesses as well as those of his associates, according to a person familiar with the probe.
The expansion of the investigation supports the concerns raised by critics of the appointment of a special counsel.
Once selected, special counsels frequently use their power to go beyond their original mandate.
More concerning, Mueller is a friend of former FBI Director James Comey and he has hired a number of Democrats as part of his team.
The expanding probe means more headaches for the president.
