WASHINGTON – Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into President Trump’s efforts to build a skyscraper in Moscow has led him to ask questions about the role two of the president’s children played in attempting to secure a Russian real estate deal, sources tell Yahoo News.
Mueller’s interest in the Trump family real estate company’s plans for a skyscraper in Russia was confirmed on Thursday when Michael Cohen, the president’s former attorney and fixer, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the proposed deal. In charging documents, Mueller said Cohen falsely claimed that the effort to build a Trump Tower Moscow “ended in January 2016” in an attempt to “minimize” links between Trump and the project and to “give the false impression” the effort ended before the Republican primaries in 2016. Yahoo News first reported in May that congressional investigators had obtained text messages and emails showing Cohen’s work on Trump Tower Moscow continued for longer than he admitted under oath.
But Cohen wasn’t the only person at the Trump Organization who was pursuing deals to build a skyscraper in the Russian capital. Multiple sources have confirmed to Yahoo News that the president’s elder daughter, Ivanka, who is now a top White House adviser, and his eldest son, Don Jr., were also working to make Trump Tower Moscow a reality. The sources said those efforts were independent of Cohen’s work on the project. One of the sources said Ivanka was also involved in Cohen’s efforts. And a separate source familiar with the investigation told Yahoo News that Mueller has asked questions about Ivanka and Don Jr.’s work on Trump Tower Moscow.
Mueller’s charging documents against Cohen included a line that described the Trump family’s involvement in the project.

Ping.
You are correct! Hillary can be proven to collude with Russia, she has a felony outlined by James Comey, destroying hard drives, email scandal, and lots more. Yet Mueller and the gang let her skate while looking for evidence that Trump maybe drove past the Russian Embassy in D.C. which, of course, would prove collusion. What a bunch of BS. Why she, and they, get away with it I’ll never know. Equal justice my rear-end!!!
Why is a problem trump was going to build in Moscow
Good questions. When does the conservative half of the electorate say enough is enough and decide that the legal system has become nothing but a weaponized tool of the left? The Left is playing with matches in a gunpowder factory and what happens after the explosion - no one knows.
I think that Mulller thinks that Trump will eventually resign or give up if he goes after his children. It’s a nasty thing for Mueller to do, but going after someone’s children sometimes may be a line that is crossed.
Mueller has so much power. There is NO ONE that will stop him.
Perhaps Mueller’s goal now is to just get fired. And he’s showing he’ll do whatever it take to make that happen.
Only one way it ends, and that action isn't happening.
That’s the thing. I suspect Mueller knows he has crossed a lot of lines in his vendetta against President Trump. And after millions of dollars spent, years of work, support by the Deep State, and much more, he’s got nothing on Trump. So now Mueller is going after Trump’s family. Why? Because he’s desperate.
Bad idea going after someone’s family.
Hey Mueller, ya idiot, you just opened Pandora’s box.
they have Trump towers all over the place. We have one in Manila.
No. Musller’s only goal now is to save his own sorry butt. He knows President Trump doesn’t usually hold grudges, so thinks he may be able to negotiate a way out if he squeezes President Trump’s family.
Not going to work.
The blowback is going to be epic.
Mueller needs to face the judgement of God almighty...I am so sick of the utter corruption from those in the deep state. It is sickening how they have bullied and targeted anyone who might have been the least bit involved in Trump’s business and financial or presidential team. Mueller is a pit bull that needs to be put down...
I think Trump would be justified in calling out the Secret Service to take out the coup.
They desperately want a war with Russia. To thin the American herd.
Well, attempting to build a skyscraper in Russia was clearly very much on the minds of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the criteria for impeachment into the Constitution. How can this fail to be one of the high crimes and misdemeanors the House will vote on next year when they vote to impeach President Trump?

Trump was far closer to building things in Saudi Arabia, even had the corporate vehicles set up for that (which were shut down when he became president). But they have no interest in that, despite Saudi influence being a million times stronger in Washington.
Trump is a billionaire. If I were him I would spend the cash to locate whoever Mueller and Weismann had affairs with.
Guaranteed, guys like them who feel above the law, and have a love of coercive power have some women out there. Probably professional whores too, like that AG in New York.
Nuke em.
Ditto.
“....Mueller has so much power. There is NO ONE that will stop him.....”
Exactly. No one has the balls to stop him.
The Mule has, in essence, become the 4th branch of the Federal govt.
Only issue is: this branch is not accountable to anybody or anything. It does whatever evil it wants without repercussions or responsibility.
This is not going to end well.
