Cambridge Analytica scandal escalates, a Russian hacker is revealed, and Trump's lawyer resigns — catch up on the latest in the Russia investigation
President Donald Trump shuffled his legal team this week as Robert Mueller gears up for a face-to-face interview. Here's the latest in the Russia investigation.
John Dowd, Trump's personal defense attorney, resigned on Thursday because he was reportedly at odds with Trump over agreeing to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller. That handed Mueller a huge win — Dowd was the biggest roadblock standing in the way of an interview between the president and special counsel.
Also this week, previously undisclosed emails described to The Washington Post indicated that George Papadopoulos — the former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser who pleaded guilty in the Russia investigation last year — was in more frequent contact with top campaign officials than has been reported.
