Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trumps Actions as President
By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDTSEPT. 20, 2017
WASHINGTON Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trumps most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.
Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved great pressure on him.
The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Muellers investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trumps behavior in the White House.
In recent weeks, Mr. Muellers office sent a document to the White House that detailed 13 different areas that investigators want more information about. Since then, administration lawyers have been scouring White House emails and asking officials whether they have other documents or notes that may pertain to Mr. Muellers requests.

I believe it was his own tweet that said a President under investigation doesn't deserve to be president.
