Mueller subpoenas Trump Organization in Russia investigation
The extent of the subpoenas is not known, but
Mr. Mueller has demanded all documents related to
Russia and other topics he is investigation, The New York Times first reported Thursday. It is also not known why
Mr. Mueller issued a subpoena instead of asking for the documents.
The Trump Organization, an umbrella entity for
Mr. Trump’s businesses, has denied it ever had real estate holdings in
Russia, but The New York Times reported witnesses recently interviewed by
Mr. Mueller have been asked about a Moscow real estate deal.
News of the subpoena comes as reports surfaced that
Mr. Trump and his lawyers are preparing for a potential interview with
Mr. Mueller. The president’s lawyers and special counsel team are said to be negotiating ground rules for such an interview.
In late January,
Mr. Trump told reporters he was “looking forward” to a sit down with
Mueller within “two or three weeks.” But that deadline has passed with no indication that an interview could occur any time soon.
Mr. Mueller was appointed in May to investigate whether the Trump campaign colluded with
Russia during the 2016 election. So far, he has secured seven indictments, including multiple charges against former campaign head Paul Manafort in D.C. and Virginia.
