PAUL MANAFORT/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Tuesday [11-27-18] continued to rail against Robert Mueller, attempting to sow doubt about the special counsel and his team and suggesting that ‘heroes’ will emerge from the investigation into Russian election meddling. In a string of tweets, Trump accused Mueller of being a ‘conflicted prosecutor gone rogue,’ while providing no evidence to support his claim, and said Mueller and his investigators were leaving ‘ruined lives’ in the wake of their investigation…Trump’s comments come a day after a number of new developments in the investigation, including a former Trump campaign aide beginning a two-week prison sentence and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort being accused by Mueller’s team of breaching his plea deal by lying to investigators.”
