WASHINGTON Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trumps most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.
Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved great pressure on him.
The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Muellers investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trumps behavior in the White House.
In recent weeks, Mr. Muellers office sent a document to the White House that detailed 13 different areas that investigators want more information about. Since then, administration lawyers have been scouring White House emails and asking officials whether they have other documents or notes that may pertain to Mr. Muellers requests.
One of the requests is about a meeting Mr. Trump had in May with Russian officials in the Oval Office the day after James B. Comey, the F.B. I director, was fired. That day, Mr. Trump met with the Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, and the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey I. Kislyak, along with other Russian officials. The New York Times reported that in the meeting Mr. Trump said that firing Mr. Comey relieved great pressure on him.

It’s enough already! Geez.
With ALL the laws obama broke.
There’s the rub.
That's true but how on earth does Sessions justify his continuance in office? DJT did his best to embarrass him out of office but Beauregard stood fast and refused to leave his dream job regardless of the cost to Trump. I thought more of him before this.
Bobby’s desperately trying fabricate an obstruction case against Trump. Ain’t gonna happen...
According to the article Trump’s lawyer, Ty Cobb, said he will turn over the material. WHY??
That would solve a lot of problems...
it's 'off Hillary', Obama and the rest of the Demorats....while ....
....."they strut their evil before you".....
Good one.. I can actually envision that happening.
Makes you wonder if Sessions is one of those on the inside who wants to topple this presidency.
Your question is pointless and without foundation. How many months have we been into this? If I search long enough, I can find that you mowed 5 inches over onto your neighbor’s lawn and charge you with trespassing. It would be pointless because neither your attorney or the neighbor’s attorney would care. The very fact the you asked such a question, if you know what has been happening, destroys your credibility.
Furthermore, your tag line is abhorrent. How dare you make any disparaging comment about preachers? You might want to study the Bible and listen to more preachers. Don’t want anyone telling you how you should live? Tell it to God. Tell Him off because he gave guidelines for life. Tell him directly. Do NOT make ugly comments about preachers because those of us who have them in our backgrounds love, respect and honor them because we saw them suffer at the hands of people like. Shut your mouth.
I honestly believe the answer to your question is Sessions is a Trojan horse. This situation is so blazingly unconstitutional and dangerous that an ethical AG would put a stop to it immediately. But Sessions is a member in good standing of The Swamp, so he appears all in on enabling this outrageous investigation in search of a crime.
If he had found the tiniest sherd of evidence, it would have been leaked by now.
That has to be the dumbest reply yet...
so if any president that feels threatened can just fire the prosecutor?? really?
dude.. really? get a grip.
Trump is the Commander in Chief of the US Military and all federal law enforcement. He’s the leader of the free world whose political support by the fourth and most powerful branch of our government is increasing in the face of all out onslaught on the part of the deep state and Mueller.
Mueller can do nothing.
I am not a dude. Yes, really. Totally. Your comment plus your tag line are uncalled for. We finally have a leader trying to fix the complete breakdown of a country caused by godless people and you come out with that. Get lost.
A stop needs to put an end to this charade. Let the Goebbelsmedia scream as it would.
Be kind of tough for Congress to impeach Trump if he drops a MOAB on them.
Just saying.
