Mueller's next move, the Steele dossier, and an NSA hack the latest in a wild week of Trump-Russia

Mueller's next move, the Steele dossier, and an NSA hack the latest in a wild week of Trump-Russia
Trump wants Mueller to do what Comey didn't: The president's lawyers are reportedly hoping the special counsel will publicly confirm Trump is not under investigation. Mueller is unlikely to do so, as he's investigating the president for obstruction of justice and examining his role in crafting a misleading statement his son gave after it emerged he met with a Russian lawyer last June.
Russian hackers gain access to classified NSA information: Russian government hackers exploited antivirus software created by Kaspersky Labs, an elite Russian cybersecurity firm, to steal top-secret NSA information about how the US infiltrates foreign adversaries and protects itself against cyberattacks. Depending on what was stolen - documents or code - the breach could be catastrophic for Kaspersky.
Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were close to being indicted on charges of federal fraud in 2012: The Manhattan District Attorney's office dropped a felony fraud investigation against the Trump children. The move came after Donald Trump's longtime lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, made a hefty donation to the district attorney's campaign. The initial donation was returned before the case was dropped, but Kasowitz made a larger donation six months later. The district attorney maintains he made the right call in dropping the case, which he said contained allegations that had "no connection to reality."
