America's top intelligence officials reportedly told Senate investigators and special counsel Robert Mueller's team that President them to publicly refute allegations of collusion between his 2016 campaign and the Russians Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers told investigators about their interactions with the president in two separate meetings last week, according to the report. Both men said the suggestion from Trump made them uncomfortable-and was surprising-but that it was not perceived as an order to interfere in the probe. Mueller s team, which has just begun its investigation in earnest, will ultimately decide whether such interactions are relevant to the Russia inquiry rump asked CNN reports. Director of National

NO COLLUSION NO OBSTRUCTION FOR THE HATERS AND THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GAME-GIVER

Dr Shaym 18 hours ago You are showing flat Earther levels of denial if you believe there's even the slimmest possibility that Trump will still be convicted of collusion with Russia after today. We're looking at 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, more than 230 orders for communication records, almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviews with 500 witnesses over the course of 22 months. The 9/11 attacks weren't investigated this thoroughly. It's over. Trump is drinking your milkshake.

Pompeo owes an explanation

Time and again, the Trump administration looked the other way in the face of warning signs about Mr. Flynn. Mr. Trump entrusted him with the nation's secrets despite knowing that he faced a Justice Department investigation over his undisclosed foreign lobbying. Evern a personal warning from President Obama did not dissuade him Mr. Pompeo sidestepped questions from senators last month about his handling of the information about Mr. Flynn, declining to say whether he knew about his own agency's concerns. "I can't answer yes or no," he said. "I regret that I'm unable to do so." His words frustrated Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Either Director Pompeo had no idea what people in the C.I.A. reportedly knew about Michael Flynn, or he knew about the Justice Department's concerns and continued to discuss America's secrets with a man vulnerable to blackmail," Mr. Wyden said in a statement. "I believe Director Pompeo owes the public an explanation."

CIA knew Flynn was a problem

WASHINGTON - Senior officials across the government became convinced in January that the incoming national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, had become vulnerable to Russian blackmail. At the F.B.I., the C.L.A., the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence - agencies responsible for keeping American secrets safe from foreign spies - career officials agreed that Mr. Flynn represented an urgent problem Yet nearly every day for three weeks, the new C.I.A. director, Mike Pompeo, sat in the Oval Office and briefed President Trump on the nation's most sensitive intelligence-with Mr. Flynn listening. Mr. Pompeo has not said whether C.I.A. officials left him in the dark about their views of Mr. Flynn, but one administration official said Mr. Pompeo did not share any concerns about Mr. Flynn with the president. The episode highlights another remarkable aspect of Mr. Flynn's stormy 25-day tenure in the White House: He sat atop a national security apparatus that churned ahead, despite its own conclusion that he was at risk of being compromised by a hostile foreign power.

Weissman joins the hunt!

A veteran federal prosecutor recruited onto special counsel Robert Mueller's team is known for a skill that may come in handy in the investigation of potential ties between Russia and U.S. President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign team: persuading witnesses to turn on friends, colleagues and superiors. Russi S. President Donald T Andrew Weissmann, who headed the U.S. Justice Department's criminal fraud section before joining Mueller's team last month, is best known for two assignments - the investigation of now-defunct energy company Enron and organized crime cases in Brooklyn, New York - that depended heavily on gaining witness cooperation.

Data stolen by Russians

The hacking of state and local election databases in 2016 was more extensive than previously reported, including at least one successful attempt to alter voter information, and the theft of thousands of voter records that contain private information like partial Social Security numbers, current and former officials tell TIME. In one case, investigators found there had been a manipulation of voter data in a county database but the alterations were discovered and rectified, two sources familiar with the matter tell TIME. Investigators have not identified whether the hackers in that case were Russian agents The fact that private data was stolen from states is separately providing investigators a previously unreported line of inquiry in the probes into Russian attempts to influence the election. In Illinois, more than 90% of the nearly 90,000 records stolen by Russian state actors contained drivers license numbers, and a quarter contained the last four digits of voters' Social Security numbers, according to Ken Menzel, the General Counsel of the State Board of Elections.

"It's ridiculous to think that I wouldn't be investing in Russia."

influence, according to interviews with government investigators, legislators, and others in Reykjavik, Brussels, Paris and London. Trump testified under oath in a 2007 deposition that Bayrock brought Russian investors to his Trump Tower office to discuss deals in Moscow, and said he was pondering investing there. It's ridiculous that I wouldn't be investing in Russia," Trump said in that deposition Russia is one of the hottest places in the world for investment One of Bayrock's principals was a career criminal named Felix Sater who had ties to Russian and American organized crime groups. Before linking up with the company and with Trump, he had worked as a mob informant for the U.S. government, fled to Moscow to avoid criminal charges while boasting of his KGB and Kremlin contacts there, and had gone to prison for slashing apart another man's face with a broken cocktail glass

Lisa Page joins the team!

7:33 PM a theguardian.com T-Mobile LTE One of the more recent recruits is reported to be Lisa Page, a justice department trial attorney with a substantial record of investigating Russian and former Soviet organised crime and in particular its reputed godfather, Semion Mogilevich Mogilevich associates are reported to have owned condos in Trump Tower in New York, and the father of Trump's business partner in the Trump Soho hotel, Felix Sater, was a Mogilevich lieutenant. Vladimir Putin is known to use oligarchs and organised crime bosses as instruments of Kremlin influence abroad "This pick really shows that Mueller recognises that Russian organised crime and sophisticated financial transactions involving them are going to be right at the centre and Page is definitely a leading expert there," said Scott Horton, a US lawyer with experience of working in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union Another sign that the Mueller team will take a “follow the money" approach is the recruitment of Andrew Weissmann, an organised crime expert who oversaw lengthy cases in the US district court for the eastern district of New York focused on the city's mafia families and their infiltration of Wall Street.
