IVANKA/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “White House adviser and presidential daughter Ivanka Trump said in an interview broadcast Friday [2-8-19] that she has ‘zero concerns’ that the Russia investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller could sweep up those closest to her. In an interview that aired on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America,’ Trump, who works in the White House as a top aide to her father, also insisted that recent revelations about work on a Trump Tower project in Moscow during the 2016 election were overblown…The status and seriousness of a prospective Trump Tower deal in Moscow have come under scrutiny in recent months with the disclosure by former Trump fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about when those talks ended. Trump, who claimed during the 2016 presidential campaign to have no business with Russia, reportedly told Mueller in a written answer to his questions that the discussions could have continued through the election, according to his lawyer. But he’s played down the seriousness of the deal, as his daughter did Friday.”
