Mueller defies Trump warning and expands Russia probe to include family’s business dealings: report
president Donald Trump on Wednesday said that it would be a “red line” if special counsel Robert Mueller began investigating his family’s business dealings — and now a new report from Bloomberg claims Mueller is about to do just that.
One source tells Bloomberg that Mueller’s team is “examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump’s businesses as well as those of his associates.”
Among other things, the source claimed that “FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings, Trump’s involvement in a controversial SoHo development with Russian associates, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008.”
The source claims that Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s business dealings is picking up from an investigation into a massive money-laundering scheme that was run by former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara until he was fired by Trump earlier this year.

‘Violation’: Sally Yates nails Trump for subverting ‘bedrock principle of democracy’ with attack on DOJ
former acting Attorney General Sally Yates called out President Donald Trump on Thursday for undermining a “bedrock principle of our democracy” with his attacks on the Department of Justice.
In an
interview with The New York Times on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he would never have nominated Attorney General Jeff Sessions if he knew that the former Alabama senator would recuse himself on Russia matters. The president also issued a warning to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, telling him not to investigate Trump family financial dealings.
Yates, who was fired by Trump after she refused to enforce a ban on Muslim travelers, accused the president of a “violation” of a “bedrock principle of our democracy” by attacking the independence of the DOJ.
“POTUS attack on Russia recusal reveals yet again his violation of the essential independence of DOJ, a bedrock principle of our democracy,” she wrote in a tweet Thursday morning.
at what point does trumps threats become reason for impeachment... if not now then never(which is what I believe though don't hope for)
