Democrat: 'Mueller knows far more than people think'
According to the New York Times' Michael Schmidt, who sat down with Trump for a half-hour at the president's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said 16 times that there was "no collusion" between his campaign and Russian Federation during last year's election.
A Russian language translator, a USA based employee of a Russian real estate group, and a British music promoter with Russian business ties, were also in attendance. "It continues with [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions doing Trump's bidding by heeding his calls to meddle with a department that is supposed to function independently", Nick Merrill said in a statement. And in theory, everybody tells me I'm not under investigation.
Trump also said he is not under investigation, "maybe" his presidential opponent Hillary Clinton is.
The meeting took place between Trump Jr., Ivanka's husband Jared Kushner, then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and the two individuals Ivanka Trump spoke with at the elevator. "Maybe Hillary is, I don't know, but I'm not", he said.
"All of that is motive as to why Donald Trump and others were endeavoring to obstruct the investigation, and why Donald Trump told [former FBI Director] to let the investigation on [former national security adviser Michael] Flynn go", he added. "It's making our country look very foolish, and this is a country I don't want looking foolish".
"The story, by the way, in The Times was way off, or at least off", Trump said in response to a question.

Gal Gadot's daughter hasn't seen 'Wonder Woman' yet
Speaking to EW, Gadot revealed that her silence at the time of Cameron's remarks was on goal , and for a very good reason. She added: "Right now, in the eye of the storm, I enjoy it and I appreciate the fantastic feedback".
The Sessions recusal has been a sore spot for Trump, with the president publicly deriding the decision and lamenting his selection of the former Alabama senator as his attorney general.
Three people familiar with the matter confirmed to the Associated Press that McGahn spoke with Sessions just before he announced his recusal, to urge him not to do so.
Mueller has not brought charges against Trump or any current White House staffer, though Flynn pleaded guilty earlier this month to lying to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents about his s with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.in the month before Trump took office. One of the people says McGahn contacted Sessions at the president's behest.
Trump, in his latest tweets about the investigation, reiterated that there was no campaign wrongdoing during his run for the White House.
They may also argue that the president was empowered to want the attorney general he appointed to oversee the justice department's Russian meddling investigation or, as McGahn contended to Sessions, that there was no basis or reason at that time for the attorney general to recuse himself.
Sessions' recusal left the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, in charge of the Russian Federation investigation.
