According to a brand new REPORT in the Washington Post, the law enforcement investigation into the Trump-Russia ties has reached a new level;
The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter.
The senior White House adviser under scrutiny by investigators is someone close to the president, according to these people, who would not further identify the official.
Until now, most of the known information in the investigation that has been reported on appeared to deal with collusion between Trump associates and campaign workers during the campaign, but now it appears that at least one administration official with access to Trump is under a closer look. And the interesting thing is that we may finally be getting past the evidence collection stage, and into a possibly more public stage where some of the payers may be identified by various means;
The revelation comes as the investigation also appears to be entering a more overtly active phase, with investigators shifting from work that has remained largely hidden from the public to conducting interviews and using a grand jury to issue subpoenas. The intensity of the probe is expected to accelerate in the coming weeks, the people said.
Trump may have gotten out of town, but who knows at this point how much things will be for him once he gets back. Don’t touch that dial.
