The Russian inquiry had caused problems for many individuals. Some persons were charged and pleaded guilty, while others have ongoing cases.
The majority of persons that found themselves in the hot seat were close to President Trump in one way or another.
Jared Kushner the son in law of Trump was one of the latest casualties. His wife also found herself facing similar consequences because of security issues.
Kushner hadn’t been charged for anything but was under investigation. He now found himself in a position that could see both he and Ivanka Trump leaving the White House.
Robert Mueller continued to keep his focus on the White House, seeking documents that go far back as November 2015.
Mitch McConnell was also accused of watering down Russian involvement in meddling with the 2016 Elections.
Denial
McConnell have seemingly convinced himself that Russia did little if anything to interfere in American politics.
It was said that McConnell wanted the assertion of any interference watered down. This accusation was presented by Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough.
McDonough said “the President asked the four leaders in a bipartisan meeting in the Oval Office to join him in in asking the states to work with us on this question. It took over three weeks to get that statement worked out. It was dramatically watered down.”
“We had great fear that that was what they had in mind during the course of the summer of 2016. We had great fear that we needed to take significant steps to stop them from doing it,”
He also implied that former President Obama confronted Vladimir Putin about such activities and requested that he stop.
