Rod Rosenstein Says Mueller Can Investigate Any Crimes Uncovered in Probe of Trump

HeadlineAug 07, 2017

In news from Washington, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller can investigate any crimes he may discover within the scope of his probe into Trump’s ties to Russia and whether his campaign colluded with the Russians to sway the 2016 election. Rosenstein’s comments come only days after President Trump claimed that it would be inappropriate for Mueller to investigate the Trump family finances. Mueller has impaneled a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., giving the investigation the power of subpoena and opening the door to possible criminal charges against President Trump and his associates.
