Trump 'looking forward' to questioning

Trump 'looking forward' to questioning

26, 2018, in Davos, Switzerland.

According to Dowd, the White House produced almost 13,000 pages of documents related to Comey and "issues regarding Michael Flynn and Russian Federation".

Strzok was reassigned from Mueller's Russian Federation investigation following the discovery of anti-Trump text messages he and Page, who was also briefly detailed to Mueller's team, had shared by phone.

"Fake news. Fake news".

The New York Times first reported the story Thursday evening, citing four sources.

However, the Department of Justice now says all missing texts have been recovered. "I mean, I've been reading about it from you people, you say, 'Oh, I'm gonna dismiss him.' No, I'm not dismissing anybody", Trump said.

Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, declined to comment.

White House lawyers and press officials did not immediately reply to Reuters requests for comment.

The response from Democrats was almost immediate. Sen.

"Any attempt to remove the Special Counsel, pardon key witnesses or otherwise interfere in the investigation would be a gross abuse of power, and all members of Congress, from both parties, have a responsibility to our Constitution and to our country to make that clear immediately", Warner said. Trump in the past has left it unclear whether he would allow himself to be interviewed face-to-face in Mueller's probe.

Gabelli Comments on BlackRock, Inc.'s FY2017 Earnings (BLK)
The asset manager reported $6.24 earnings per share for the quarter, beating analysts' consensus estimates of $5.94 by $0.30. It fall, as 17 investors sold CG shares while 28 reduced holdings. 24 funds opened positions while 40 raised stakes.

Mr Cobb said Mr Trump emphasised he remains committed to cooperating with the investigation and looked forward to speaking with Mr Mueller.

Mueller's appointment came after the president abruptly fired then-FBI Director James Comey past year.

So, besides the fact that Trump - contrary to his public assertions - not only thought about firing Mueller but asked that it be done, what else does The New York Times story teach us (or remind us) about Trump? And yet, somehow, Trump, the self-proclaimed political genius of our time, wasn't able to grasp the effect that firing Mueller might have on his presidency.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a letter to Congress that his office "succeeded in using forensic tools" to recover messages from Federal Bureau of Investigation devices, including those swapped by a counterintelligence agent, Peter Strzok, and Federal Bureau of Investigation lawyer Lisa Page between December 2016 and May 2017.

Mr. Trump has yet to formally invoke executive privilege to block Mr. Mueller's or Capitol Hill's investigations, although several of his aides have clammed up, saying he might do so. And former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn agreed to cooperate with investigators in a plea deal revealed two months ago.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is moving at a far faster pace than previously known and appears to be wrapping up at least one key part of his investigation - whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, according to current and former US officials.

Trump told reporters he "would love to" answer Mueller's interview questions, and he declared he would do so under oath, according to a recording at the White House.

Mueller is investigating allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

More than 20 White House personnel have voluntarily given interviews to Mr Mueller's team, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
