Donald Trump is under investigation. Trump’s business is under investigation. Trump’s campaign operation is under investigation. Trump’s transition team is under investigation. Trump’s foundation is under investigation. Trump’s inaugural committee is under investigation.

Trump’s former campaign chairman and deputy chairman have already pleaded guilty to multiple felonies. Trump’s former White House National Security Advisor and Trump’s former personal attorney have both pleaded guilty to felonies, and are either awaiting sentencing or are already headed to prison.

Meanwhile, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is ongoing, and by some measures, the probe appears to be intensifying.

Oh, and did I mention that the Trump-aligned super PAC is facing prosecutors’ scrutiny, too?

Federal prosecutors are examining whether foreigners illegally funneled donations to President Trump’s inaugural committee and a pro-Trump super PAC in hopes of buying influence over American policy, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
The inquiry focuses on whether people from Middle Eastern nations – including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – used straw donors to disguise their donations to the two funds. Federal law prohibits foreign contributions to federal campaigns, political action committees and inaugural funds.
