WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s 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. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.
In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s 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. Mueller’s 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.

PS
The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the President.
The people that Mueller has surrounded himself with are clearly hostile to the President, and should be considered a threat to him physically.
Every one of them should be interviewed and investigated by the Service, with special focus on the Korean woman: a Democrat of Korean ethnicity is by definition sympathetic to Kim Jong Un and North Korea. She is there to remove opposition to the Communist dictator, and allow him to overcome South Korea and “reunify” the Peninsula.
But every one of those “attorneys” - in reality Democrat party hacks who were part of this conspiracy from the start (we know now that they wiretapped Trump and his people illegally to try to stop his candidacy) - has something similar in their backgrounds. And Mueller was part of it - he sold his soul to Obama to remain FBI director.
That’s what they have on him. Get this guy before he exposes all of us.
Time for the President’s protection detail to step in and cut off this threat to him with arrests.
My check will be in snail mail this afternoon
Useless and, IMO.. lazy. What exactly is he doing these days??
agreed , clean house until it’s right
You did an excellent job of summarizing the situation. Trump faces a complex and challenging scenario. Many try to over-simplify it. To do that, most of the facts and reality itself must be ignored.
Personally, I believe Trump will prevail—and this includes canning Swampy Sessions. It’s just going to take more time and finesse than makes sense to the overly simplistic.
‘Mueller and his Hillary LAWYERS are trying to create a crime not find one!’
You got that right.
Patrick Fitzgerald created a crime where none existed. It’s well documented.

‘Sessions should have stepped down before getting to that point.’
Absolutely. That was his only honorable option.
DJTs election has uncovered a level of political criminality that is shocking. IMO nothing, absolutely nothing, can be made great again until the open sewer that is DC is pumped dry. Sessions is more than disappointing, he has revealed himself to be an obstructionist. If DJTs UN ambassador Nikki Haley did what Samantha Power has done, vis-à-vis unmasking US citizens, I bet Sessions would drop whatever it is he’s doing and begin immediate prosecution.
’If DJTs UN ambassador Nikki Haley did what Samantha Power has done, vis-à-vis unmasking US citizens, I bet Sessions would drop whatever it is he’s doing and begin immediate prosecution.’
You’re exactly right he would. The Democrats would approve, the Uniparty would approve, Sessions’ bff Rosenstein would approve, and the MSM would approve. Therefore Jeff would be gung-ho.
It’s scandalous.
“There must be photos of Sessions on Pedo Island. Nothing else makes sense.”
I was late to believe that Sessions was Swamp, but I don’t believe he’s a pedo. One of the really good things he’s done is guide state attacks on pedo groups. He’s even had people in Europe (under FBI/Interpol supervision) arrest pedo groups.
That having been said, I DO think he’s Swamp. I’m sorry it took me so long to see it.
I think he likes to give people a chance to either come through as honest people or give them a chance to hang themselves.
LMAO! Probably so!
I was a little facetious. I don’t actually see any evidence of Sessions having sex peccadillos. Why is he swamp, I wonder? I wonder that about all of them. Are they that insecure that they just want to be at the cool cocktail parties, like Limbaugh always said? Or are they compromised financially? Or, for some, are they blackmailed like Denny Hastert, who did molest boys?? What keeps them in the swamp?
Just say “No.”
I don’t think it’s so much that Sessions is part of the Swamp, but rather he doesn’t have the aggressiveness to really go after corrupt elites. We needed an AG willing to put their life on the line to uphold the law, but what we got was a southern gentleman.
