(CNN) - President Donald Trump is concerned about whether his son Donald Trump Jr. might have exposure in the special counsel's Russia investigation, leading to his increasingly frenzied public agitation over Robert Mueller, sources close to the White House tell CNN.

Trump has been concerned for months now that the Mueller probe could reach his family, and potentially his son-in-law Jared Kushner, but his focus has turned to his namesake in recent weeks, one person who speaks with Trump frequently tells CNN. This is one of several reasons Trump has upped his public attacks on Mueller, because he doesn't want him touching his family, the person adds.

Trump Jr. and his attorney have insisted he has always told the truth. But his claims publicly and to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he never told his father about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian attorney promising dirt on Hillary Clinton have been contradicted by others in Trump's orbit. Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime attorney and former fixer, is said to be prepared to testify that the President knew about the Trump Tower meeting ahead of time sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN. Trump has denied knowing about the meeting before it happened.

These are desperate deep-state attempts at pre-emption, deflection, and distraction.

The Mueller probe is a joke. Once POTUS declassifies a bit more of the fraudulent FISA applications, the anti-Trumpers of all parties will be raiding Depends off the drugstore shelves.

P.S. - Wouldn't it be a hoot if Manafort's defense team called Rodentstein to the stand? He participated in Manafort's exoneration a few years ago.

In other words: Fake News

” He lied to the FBI”

Process crime
Same gig they used to get Flynn
No crime necessary all they have to do is claim you lied
Of course falsifying their interview reports as Strzok did to Flynn is agency procedure to set up the charge

There was no crime in that Russian meeting at Trump Tower, so it’s bullshit.
What Mueller is doing is trying to get Manafort for 395 years in prison for a tax fraud case, tortured in solitary, and then will get him to make up some very vicious lies that he and Trump were hiring GRU hackers to get Hillary. It won’t lead to impeachment of course, and Trump will fight it tooth and nail, but it will be just enough taint for Mueller to say he won, he “proved” collusion. That is the plan.

Mueller is engaged in witness tampering.

The only reason he is prosecuting Manafort is to pressure him to make up lies about Trump.

Sounds like Jake doesn’t understand that going after a popular candidate’s family for winning an election might bring out the baby Harp seal hunters...

Muledeer deserves to be hung up by his scrotum until it falls off which causes him to fall 100’ to the cement slab below. All filmed in Hi Def and captured in Slow Mo for entertainment value indefinitely.

Karma.
