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 Trumps 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. Trumps 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. Trumps 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. Trumps political activities. In recent weeks, Mr. Muellers 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.

That's exactly right. One need to look no further than the team of (D) lawyers he assembled.
Yep, Maggie Habermann....Hillary’s flunky.
Take with many grains of salt.
5th Amendment idiot Mueller.
Patriots have more than had it with Deep State abuse of our leader and his family. I am surprised blow back against them hasn’t yet occurred. It is more than well-deserved.
Trump is out of his mind letting this drag on.
Giant mistake not slapping these bastards down hard as soon as Sessions and Rosenstein put the coup in progress.
If they are going to impeach him anyway, he might as well inflict some damage on them instead of standing there letting them operate unscathed.
Send him any atlas that may be lying around. On top of that, put a personal note: YOU ARE FIRED, immediately.
BTW, Grand Jury proceedings are supposed to be confidential, how did this get mentioned.
Mueller has decided he is entitled to expand his so called witch hunt. HE found NO COLLUSION. CASE OVER! CLOSED. Go play in traffic Mueller.
If Trump had really been colluding with the Russians, Mueller might have become a matter to be disappeared. Since he hasn’t, I would look at US coup plotters/secret government for the greatest threat to the Republic and President Trump.
The Saudis put hundreds of millions into the Clintons pockets when she was Secy of State, thinking she'd be president.
Must be a lot of nay-saying in the desert now that the Clintons are political dead meat.
==================================================
Turns out the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).
Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims

(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)
Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clintons election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.
The Saudi Press Agency reported that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. --SNIP--
Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillarys campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillarys husband and former US President Bill Clinton.
AND THIS-- Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month- long project to provide public relations services. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign.
===============================================
Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The pay-to-play suck-up begins.
I would send him a copy of the Steele Dossier and a Picture of Hillary
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rich!
>>I hope PDJTs lawyers tell Mueller to go pound sand. Its astounding he wants documents from PTs businesses and the Clinton foundation is untouched.
******************************************************
How much more abuse from these tyrants are patriots going to tolerate, I surely don’t know.
Who in the hell is OFFICIALLY investigating that?????
I'm about to move to St Helena...and forget this place.
Rosenstein will be fired the day after the midterms. Guaranteed.
Long past time to tell Mueller to shove it up his Obamahole.
He’ll know where that is once he removes his head from it.
YOU may be ON to something!
Mueller has produced nothing, and by now, he has to *want* to be fired, in order to hurt Trump! What else has he got?
Trey Gowdy and Goodlatte have given Mueller all the thumbs up he could hope for, after they interview only TWO witnesses related to the FISA finale, before both retire from Congress. They exit by calling on stooge Sessions to appoint a Special Counsel.
Gregg Jarret, FOX, has contacts at JD. These contacts are not happy with Sessions, or much of anything else going on over there.
Paging Noel Francisco if it gets that far.
Who in the hell is OFFICIALLY investigating that?????
Sessions has someone on that (sarcasm).
Add me to the list of people who despise Sessions.
