2016 ELECTION/CONGRESS/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “A bipartisan group of senators will introduce legislation on Wednesday [4-11-18] to protect the office of the special counsel, one day after the White House said U.S. President Donald Trump had the authority to fire a special prosecutor investigating Russia and the 2016 election. Robert Mueller, the special counsel, is probing allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, an investigation that has widened to include whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow. Russia has denied that it interfered in the election, and Trump and the White House say there was no collusion. Nevertheless, the probe has become a thorny issue for the president.”
