Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday that President Trump is clearly worried that the special counsel investigation could include his finances in the Russia probe.
The president is clearly worried, about accusations that Russia laundered money through the Trump Organization, Schiff told CBSs Face the Nation. What concerns me the most is anything that could be help over the presidents head that could influence US policy, Schiff added.
Schiffs concerns come after Trump in an interview last week said it would be a violation for special counsel Robert Mueller investigate his or his familys finances beyond looking for potential ties between Trumps campaign staff members and the Kremlin.
I think thats a violation. Look, this is about Russia, Trump told The New York Times.

And who is the HEAD of the Trump Organization? You got it!
THIS is what big Donnie is afraid of, and he should be VERY afraid.

(37,648 posts)He said that he's never seen anything like it. When he said he'd consider firing Mueller over getting his tax returns, he was saying, "The proof of my criminality is in the tax returns," with a big arrow pointing at them.
LOL.

Your post says "help" but should say "held".
