Investigators into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential elections are now also probing whether White House officials have engaged in a cover-up, according to members of Congress who were briefed Friday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
That avenue of investigation was added in recent weeks after assertions by former FBI Director James Comey that President Donald Trump had tried to dissuade him from pressing an investigation into the actions of Trump’s first national security adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, members of Congress said, though it was not clear whom that part of the probe might target.
Even as members of Congress were mulling over the expansion of the case into possible cover-up, and its reclassification from counterintelligence to criminal, the scandal appeared to grow.
The Washington Post reported Friday afternoon that federal investigators were looking at a senior White House official as a “significant person of interest.” The article did not identify the official, though it noted that the person was “someone close to the president.”

Link doesn’t work.
Classic Orwell. Coverup of a crime that does not exist.
Somebody better tell Rosenstein and the Swamp snails that a lot of the 63 million people who voted for President Trump don’t care about this kind of #FakeNews - but they might care about decorating the DC cherry trees with denizens of the Swamp...

They do not work.
Thanks.
this is a slow motion coup de etat by the deep state...
Which ‘President’?........................
Once a serious accusation is made, but lacks even the smallest bit of evidence, or even a hint of any, means that there is a conspiracy of the worst sort hidden by a massive cover up. Its just a short step to a finding of guilty as charged.
Amazing that liberals and the media now want integrity with government.
An investigation would always include potential coverup. This is just a lame excuse to continue to push the lame story.
Rod Rosenstein should be fired.
Exactly!
LOL. Cover up of what crime?
They haven’t found a crime yet.
And Comey said under oath that there was no political interference.
Okay, show me the donations from Russia to the Trump campaign.
Now show me the donations to the Clinton campaign (Clinton Global initiative).
The Washington Post etc can go and reproduce asexual.

All you have to do to generate this junk is for a Dem congressman to ask if “X” is being looked into. Any response indicating that the subject “X” will be covered, can be construed by the salivating press as: “X will be a topic of investigation!”
This is ALL fake news.
fire Rod, and Mueller as well. the liberals will never stop, put the RINO’s in the Senate to the test!
This is what happens when you don’t drain the swamp. ..Losing more pity by the day.
Enough is enough time for Sessions to show his face.
We want Hillary brought up on charges and Obama testifying under oath with his AG. This playing nice has to stop.
Revoke the press passes for CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX. etc. Let only real news people in the press pool.
>> the 63 million people who voted for President Trump
A sizable group that is more than fed up.
