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.

From “The Hill”:
Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr.’s role in seeking to build a Trump Tower skyscraper in Moscow three years before their father’s presidential campaign, sources told Yahoo News in an investigation published Thursday.
The president’s elder daughter, now-White House adviser Ivanka, and his eldest son Don Jr. reportedly worked to build Trump Tower Moscow for several years, ending their efforts in 2013, sources told Yahoo News.
“They were not looking at any other deals after that,” a source told the news publication.
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS BLOWN. It’s time for that friggin’ Mueller to resign and turn himself in for government waste.
Worth repeating. Often.
Exactly, real crimes covered up. Fake crimes being spread far and wide by the fake media. These fake crimes are part of a coup attempt and I believe they justify the death penalty.
I think we sadly must realize our nation is gone.. It will no longer be what is was created for..sadly the crap will not end..but I am with you, tired of both sides saying we have the goods and nothing happening..just a shell game..and expect world war as it collapses
I think of they go down, their father will bring everyone else down, too, with no stone left unturned.
I believe that if Mueller does this he will not be happy with the results.
Agree
Muleass=capt ahab.
When is Trump going to “eye” Mueller’s “work” as FBI Director, in particular relating to the Boston Marathon terror attack, and Mueller’s direct role in rejecting “imminent threat” warnings from Russian and Israeli intelligence prior to that attack?
time to fire Herr Müller and ship him to Spandau.
or better yet hang him publicly in Nuremberg

Gestapo Chief Müller is far worse than a crook
If Trump has damning info on these monsters, time to release it and act on it. I’m sick of playing defense.
1. Even the LCN had rules -you stay away from my family and I will stay away from yours. Mueller is in for a lot of “stuff” if he does this stunt.
2. DJT could invoke Attorney Client Privilege IMHO and that should stand. Mueller would need independent witnesses to over come that & it looks like there are none @ this point.
3. DJT could release ALL the documents he says will really, really hurt or destroy the DNC on their “colluding” (conspiracy). Has to be pretty good stuff b/c “allies” that participated are screaming it will hurt intel (so be it)
4. Mueller could be indicted by Tennessee. Destroys his credibility.
5. Mueller may be implicated in other false prosecutions, viz Whitey Bolger...and there were musings Mueller could have tipped the prison that Whitey was transferred into to stop the aforementioned. (Blame the dead guy.)
6. Then there is HRC, Comey, the DNC, RICO and who knows what DJT has to Trump this BS allegations.
My gut tells me that when you go for Trump’s children it is like saying something bad about his wife or mother.
There will be hell to pay for those acts.
They may not like the fact that he is POTUS, but he is not the kind of person to take this crap.
He may think he does, but I doubt that is how this works out.
President Trump is no fool. Mueller? Vermin.
Probably more along the lines of underaged boys.
