The U.S. special counsel investigating possible ties between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in last year’s election is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump’s businesses as well as those of his associates, according to a person familiar with the probe.

The president told the New York Times on Wednesday that any digging into matters beyond Russia would be out of bounds. Trump’s businesses have involved Russians for years, making the boundaries fuzzy so Special Counsel Robert Mueller appears to be taking a wide-angle approach to his two-month-old probe.

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 person said.

Let the firings begin!!!!

Lmao if you don't think one of the first things the FBI did was put in a call to FinCEN. They were probably doing this well before Mueller.

Yeah. How dare the FBI find out about any money laundering Trump has done for his Russian friends through the years. Let's fire them before they find any of that stuff.

Objectively, you can't investigate ties and loyalties with Russia without looking at payments and financial dealings. Following the money is typically the most effective route.
