President Donald Trump walks down the steps of the Capitol building after a luncheon with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar Thursday
Special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed the Trump Organization for business documents, a source familiar with the matter told CNN on Thursday. Last week, Trump spoke with Emmet Flood, a longtime Washington lawyer who represented former President Bill Clinton during the impeachment process, about coming into the White House to deal with the inquiry.
The New York Times, which first reported the development, said the subpoena included documents related to Russian Federation.
This subpoena is the first time Mueller's investigation has asked for documents specifically dealing with the Trump Organization's businesses, and comes at a time when the special counsel's investigation into Russian meddling appears to have widened. Asked if Mueller would be crossing a "red line" by looking into his finances and those of his family unrelated to Russia, Trump said he thought that would be "a violation" of Mueller's authority.
The breadth of the subpoena was not clear, nor was it clear why Mr Mueller issued it instead of simply asking for the documents from the company, an umbrella organisation that oversees Mr Trump's business ventures.
White House special counsel Ty Cobb had no comment. The Trump Organization White House said Thursday that the business has long complied with Mueller's investigation and would continue to do so, according to The Associated Press.
The Trump Organisation has said that it never had property holdings in Russian Federation, but witnesses recently interviewed by Mr Mueller have been asked about a possible property deal in Moscow. The Trump Organization didn't return a request for comment.

Former Apple employees discuss Siri problems with The Information

CNN has reported that George Nader, a Middle East specialist tied to secret meetings between the UAE and Trump associates, is cooperating with Mueller.
The Times report said the subpoena is related to records prior to Trump's run for office.
It also "ordered the Trump Organization to hand over all documents related to Russia" and related topics, the Times reported.
News of the subpoena broke shortly after the Trump administration announced a new raft of sanctions on Russia, including Russian nationals previously indicted in the special counsel probe.
Last month, the special counsel indicted 13 Russian nationals and entities for breaking US laws to meddle in the USA 2016 presidential election.
