The Russian Probe had been ongoing for over six months. During that time Special Counsel Robert Mueller requested many documents.
He also held inquiries requiring some persons to answer questions. A special interest was shown in the possibility of Trump knowingly taken part in election corruption.
The inquiry’s main focus was to see if Russia interfered in the 2016 Elections. It was also investigating if Trump was involved in any way.
Some charges had been filed since the inquiry started, but now Mueller’s focus turned to the White House.
DOJ
Mueller recently asked the DOJ to turn over documents about James Comey’s firing.
Trump had Comey removed from his position as FBI Director. Comey had faced the Senate Committee about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email accusations.
Mueller was also interested in why Jeff Sessions wanted no part in carrying out investigations into the same email scandal.
The DOJ are the ones responsible for the probe making the situation sort of awkward.
Mueller wanted to look into Trump’s behavior in his Presidential role as well. A report was made about a meeting between Trump and Comey before he was fired.
