A third major story dropped on Friday afternoon, with respect to President Donald Trump and the Russia investigation.
According to McClatchy, special counsel Robert Muellers probe on Russian interference in the 2016 election will include looking into a possible White House cover up. McClatchy cited members of Congress as being the source for the report, which was published after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein briefed Congress on Friday.
Per McClatchy, the cover up is the third branch of an investigation that began as a look into Russian interference, and then began to examine whether the Trump team colluded with the Russians. Now, Mueller will reportedly examine the possibility of a cover-up.
This news comes approximately one hour after a Washington Post report in which a current White House official is apparently being classified as a person of interest in the Russia investigation.
