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.

Sounds like a classic special counsel fishing expedition.

If he didnt look at business finances, he wouldnt be doing his job.

If only someone had done their job to look at clinton finances

Yep, easy to justify the firing. Went well outside his mandate

The roots of Mueller’s follow-the-money investigation lie in a wide-ranging money laundering probe launched by PreetBharara last year”

Not a surprise at all. This is significant because trump clearly said yesterday that this is his red line.

He needs to fire Mueller or he's a beta cuck for not following thru on his threat.

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.

Good Lord. You lefties are so dramatic. Nothing will come of this. From either side. You are one gullible little drama queen.
