The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has subpoenaed the Trump Organization to turn over documents, including some related to Russia, according to two people briefed on the matter. The order is the first known time that the special counsel demanded documents directly related to President Trump’s businesses, bringing the investigation closer to the president.
The breadth of the subpoena was not clear, nor was it clear why Mr. Mueller issued it instead of simply asking for the documents from the company, an umbrella organization that oversees Mr. Trump’s business ventures. In the subpoena, delivered in recent weeks, Mr. Mueller ordered the Trump Organization to hand over all documents related to Russia and other topics he is investigating, the people said.
The subpoena is the latest indication that the investigation, which Mr. Trump’s lawyers once regularly assured him would be completed by now, will drag on for at least several more months. Word of the subpoena comes as Mr. Mueller appears to be broadening his investigation to examine the role foreign money may have played in funding Mr. Trump’s political activities. In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s investigators have questioned witnesses, including an adviser to the United Arab Emirates, about the flow of Emirati money into the United States.
Neither White House officials nor Alan S. Futerfas, a lawyer representing the Trump Organization, immediately responded to requests for comment. The Trump Organization has typically complied with requests from congressional investigators for documents for their own inquiries into Russian election interference, and there was no indication the company planned to fight Mr. Mueller about it.

Mueller is truly on a witch hunt.
I truly want to see him hanged by piano wire or assassinated.
It would be a great day for justice in America.
I’ve had it with this Deep State mofo.
The Whole Organization ? LOL
I’m holding out hope that Sessions will do the right thing. He could start by firing McCabe today.
One of the latest Mueller witnesses is a pedophile(boys) named George Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman. He served time in Prague in 2003. Unfortunately, Nader has a connection with one of Trump’s fundraisers, Elliott Broidy. Broidy also sent emails to Nader about conversations between Kushner and Trump and Broidy over some Qatar issue.
Nader is being represented by Kathy Ruemmler who previously served as WH counsel to Obama.

I think the NY TIMES and Haggie Habberdash are beginning to get on our nerves!
What an arm for the subversives they are! Seems we’re getting baited to enter the streets.
The Trump Organization was Trump’s business. How can it possibly happen, in a free nation, for such an investigation to go back many years into a person’s private life to fish for dirt. Rush said today that Mueller and his people probably are going to try to ruin Trump’s life and take everything he has. Wouldn’t the swamp love that? They so envy his wealth and that he is not beholden to any of them. Therefore, he does not have to play their game. In addition, he has messed up their lucrative and powerful playhouse. They don’t like it. Can you think of another President who has been treated like this? I can’t. There has been a book written..Can’t recall the title of it right now which claims that our laws are such that any one of us actually, unknowingly commits 3 felonies a day. Compute that and then tell me we are not headed to a vicious dictatorship. Will the majority of Americans roll over for this? I guess we will find out. In the meantime, live your lives as best you can. Love your family, your friends and your neighbors and know that, in the end, evil will not be victorious. Power and money really do not matter in the afterlife.
Didn’t take long for that to leak.
Trump should only give them info from the date of his inauguration. End of story.
What would Obama do?
Shred, Bleach Bit, delay, delay, delay, forget, play dumb, laugh like a donkey, done.
He likely does but even if Trump's business or financial dealings show some incentive or conflict of interest for a Trump presidency, Mueller obviously hasn't been able to produce on the collusion charge. So he's resorted to looking for anything to legit undermine Trump's presidency.
OTOH...the OLD GREY LADY ain't what she used to be, this is NOT the late '60s/early '70s, Trump isn't Nixon, and finally, F-I-N-A-L-Y, the populace and some GOPers have at last taken off the damned white gloves and ARE fighting back!
Will we wind up fighting in the streets? SOME ALREADY HAVE BEEN.
I mean, if he did business with a company headquartered in Finland (for example), which has offices or itself has business dealings with russia...those documents could be considered by mueller as being "any documents" related to russia. it's by it's very nature, a fishing expedition.
I would send Muller a subpoena for his involvement in the U1 Treason. Oh Wait- that’s right- He is protected.
I would send him a mirror, labeled "The REAL Culprit". I am sick and tired of this whole Mueller witch hunt nonsense grabbing headlines, taking up Trump's time from dealing with our nation's problems, and costing US a huge amount of totally wasted taxpayer money. Shut this garbage down already. Jail the guilty---Hillary, Odungo, et al.
Probably thinking that will further legitimize Russia claims and that he might get a fair shake this way. He's far more optimistic and patient with this than I'd be.
Trump’s own fault for letting this nonsense continue unabated. Sure hope folks here are willing to participate in CW II, otherwise say goodbye to our country.
I don’t see how restoration is do-able working within the system. I’ve recently learned about the SES, Senior Executive Service, which infiltrates every branch/department of government. They are the official Deep State, which our tax dollars pay for, who essentially tell people in authority what they will permit them to do and what they will not permit them to do. Thomas Paine had a few videos exposing it. Quite amazing.
I think DJT decided to run and serve because he is a true patriot who has a deep love of country, and thought he could save it. After he got in and saw the extent of the massive corruption and evil, and what was really going on, I think he may have a few regrets.
His family and love ones have suffered, he has endured so much hatred, etc. He made a remark when speaking with the Irish leader who was visiting him in the Oval Office recently. He wondered out loud if he would see his beautiful golf course in Ireland ever again in his lifetime. That remark made me so sad to hear. That’s when I thought he must be rethinking all that he sacrificed to serve his country.
But, he’s a fighter, enjoys the fight. So, who knows. My gut just tells me the country is too far gone, and the remedy required for restoration is too severe to be successfully implemented.
Hopefully, at some point soon, God has the intent to intervene and with His mighty Hand, once and for all, conquer the evil saturating every corner of this earth.
