Here's where the investigations related to President Trump stand.
The White House continues to push back against a Democratic request for the IRS to provide six years of Trump's personal tax returns and the returns for some of his businesses. The returns were officially requested Wednesday by Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal, who heads the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
William Consovoy, whose firm was retained by Trump to represent him on the matter, said in a letter to the Treasury Department's general counsel that requests for tax returns "must have a legitimate legislative purpose." He said Neal's request for Trump's tax information is intended to damage the president politically."They'll speak to my lawyers; they'll speak to the attorney general," Trump said at the White House.
The letter does not detail what Mueller learned about a broad range of Trump associates who had Russia-related contacts during the 2016 presidential campaign and transition period. It also doesn't answer why several of those people lied to federal investigators or Congress during the Russia probe.
