Robert Mueller is closing in on Trump. Congress must protect his investigation

Authors Max Bergmann and Max Boot urge Congress to pass legislation that would protect Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference.

Mueller is coming.

The investigation into Trump campaign coordination with Russia appears to be closing in on the president. The three indictments earlier this month of Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort; his deputy, Rick Gates; and foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos show that Robert Mueller is inside Trump’s campaign. The indictment and plea agreement of former national security adviser Michael Flynn now puts the investigation into the White House.
