Trump-Russia News. 12/8/18.
BBC News: “Prosecutors in New York and Washington are claiming
the president had implicit knowledge and involvement in a campaign finance
crime. He also had knowledge of a massive property deal that involved contacts
with Russian government officials while he was running for president in an
election that was being targeted for influence by the Russian government.”
The Guardian: “As the special counsel ‘flips’
presidential allies one by one, prosecutors see parallels to efforts against
organized crime.”
PBS News Hour: “Prosecutors say former Trump
campaign chairman Paul Manafort lied about his contacts with a Russian
associate and Trump administration officials … Manafort violated his plea deal
by telling ‘multiple discernible lies.’”
ThinkProgress: “Trump’s new attorney general pick is
poised to restrict the Mueller investigation. William Barr wants to investigate
Hillary Clinton and has echoed much of the president’s anti-Mueller rhetoric.”
Politico: “Mueller: Flynn gave ‘substantial assistance’ to
probe … Flynn participated in 19 interviews with the special counsel and other
Justice Department prosecutors and aided in multiple investigations.”
PoliticusUSA: “Documents show that the Trump
campaign and the NRA illegally coordinated their advertising during the 2016
election … The NRA is already under investigation for funneling Russian money
to Trump.”
The Daily Beast: “Robert Muller’s investigation will
likely implicate the president, his campaign and his close associates in aiding
and abetting a Russian conspiracy against the United States to undermine the
2016 election.”
CNN: “Mueller investigators questioned John Kelly in
obstruction probe … Kelly is widely expected to leave his position in the
coming days and is no longer on speaking terms with President Donald Trump.”
Business Insider: “Trump may be guilty of witness
tampering after Roger Stone tweet.”
