According to what longtime Trump friend and political mentor Roger Stone told the New York Times on Friday, Trump has finally come to understand that Mueller’s Russia probe “was not going away, his lawyers’ promises notwithstanding.”

As MSNBC reported, for more than a year, Trump’s lawyers have given him repeated assurances that the end of the Russia probe was imminent, starting in November of 2017 when Trump’s then-lawyer Ty Cobb promised him that the investigation would end “before Thanksgiving” of 2017. Russia Investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller released two new filings on Friday detailing crimes by Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen and 2016 campaign chief Paul Manafort, as CNN reported, but not before President Trump unleashed a series of six Twitter posts attacking Mueller and the investigation.
American attorney Robert Mueller is set to reveal more details about the Special Counsel investigation as he faces court deadlines in the cases of two men who worked closely with Donald Trump.
