They'll need the money for the increased tariffs and subsequent prices from other countries ! A tariff war never ends well.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Not if they buy American made goods.

US Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned last week by investigators over alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia.

A department of justice spokesperson confirmed the meeting.

Robert Mueller, the former FBI director, is leading the inquiry into the alleged collusion during the 2016 election.

The New York Times says it is the first time a member of President Trump's cabinet has been questioned.

The newspaper said he was questioned for several hours.

This is entirely speculation, but it seems logical that our official secrets act would have some dispensation to enable trangressions to be investigated, whether that dispensation involves ensuring the investigator(s) are rated to allow access to the correct levels of classified information. There are also provisions within our law that allow crimes involving classified data to be prosecuted and tried. Of course, they do require that any staff involved in trying the crime are cleared for the correct classification.

I would have thought that the Americans would also have a similar setup. Not necessarily the same laws, but they would have a way that crimes involving classified data can be investigated, prosecuted and tried. I would be suprised if Mueller has not ensured his team are already cleared to the correct level.

It's certainly not going to go down well with anyone in the US needing a washing machine in the near future... Go Donald, hit the electorate in the pocket and spark off some revenge tariffs for US exports !

Wonder if Trump/ and or friends/family have shares in Whirlpool ? Up 2.5%....

Well, the tariff on Solar Panels is in keeping with Trump's apparent agenda. He does seem unusually lenient on Fossil fuels..

Trump-Russia links: Robert Mueller aims to question US President over potential obstruction of justice
Robert Mueller is reportedly seeking to question Donald Trump about his firing of James Comey and Michael Flynn, apparently intensifying his examination of whether the President was responsible for the possible obstruction of justice.
In the latest of a flurry of developments relating to the federal probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, it was reported that Mr Mueller would like to talk to the President in the coming weeks.
In particular, he wants to talk to him about the 2017 February firing of Mr Flynn and his ousting of Mr Comey in May 2017.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

No, you were right first time nothing to see with the Russian collusion hoax started by the Democrats (and corrupt FBI agents).

Republican lawmaker claims a whistleblower in the FBI has come forward with claims that there was a ‘secret society’ that met offsite, when Trump won the presidency, they met to discuss methods to undermine his presidency.

Quote:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) says that a whistleblower has told Congress about secret meetings between FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials who allegedly gathered to discuss ways to undermine President Trump following his victory in the 2016 election.

Johnson's comments come after House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said two FBI agents accused of anti-Trump bias made reference in text messages to a “secret society” within the FBI and DOJ in the aftermath of Trump’s election.

Speaking Tuesday on Fox New Channel’s “Special Report,” Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said he has an informant to back those claims up.

“The secret society — we have an informant talking about a group holding secret meetings off-site,” Johnson said.

“We have to continue to dig into it,” he added. “This is not a distraction. This is biased, potentially corruption at the highest levels of the FBI.”

I have said this before and this applies to all members. Team members are the only people who should be determining issues with the topic.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Trump's visit to the UK is now scheduled to be towards the end of the year. Doesn't seem to be a state visit.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Looks like the much-predicted "citizenship for wall funding" deal is getting closer.

Quote:

The White House has outlined an immigration plan that would allow 1.8 million people to become US citizens in exchange for funding of a border wall.
The framework was described by a senior Trump aide in a conference call to Republicans ahead of legislative negotiations with Democrats.
The proposed bill, to be unveiled on Monday, requests $25bn (£17.6bn) in funds for a wall on the Mexican border.
