VietPress USA (Nov. 5th, 2017): Special Counsel Robert Mueller, former FBI Director, is now considered as a nightmare to then Presidential candidate 2016 Donald Trump and his former advisers of the Trump's Election Campaign in 2016.
The news from Reuters today reported that Robert Mueller has enough evidence to charge then White House's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and his son for possible money laundering, lying to federal agents and other relations to Russian probe.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special Counsel Robert Mueller has collected sufficient evidence to charge Michael Flynn, U.S. President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, and his son, NBC News reported on Sunday, citing multiple sources familiar with the investigation.
NBC News said Mueller's team is looking at possible money laundering charges, lying to federal agents, and Flynn's role in a possible plan to remove an opponent of the Turkish president from the United States in exchange for millions of dollars.
Mueller is increasing pressure on Flynn following his indictment of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, NBC News said.
Flynn served 24 days as Trump's national security adviser but was fired after it was discovered he had misrepresented his contacts with a Russian diplomat to Vice President Michael Pence.
Barry Coburn, a lawyer for the younger Flynn, declined to comment. Robert Kelner, Flynn's lawyer, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
NBC said that Mueller's office also declined comment.
Reuters was not immediately able to confirm the report.
