Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign team and Russia’s alleged meddling in the US election could reportedly last for at least another year.
While the President and his senior officials have claimed the Special Counsel’s probe is drawing to a close and will vindicate him, a report claims that having so far issued indictments against four people linked to Mr Trump, Mr Mueller’s inquiry could continue much longer.
This week, White House lawyers are expected to meet with investigators from Mr Mueller’s office. In recent weeks, the team has been requesting more and more documents from the White House to include in its probe.
This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

While the White House and the President have sought to cooperate and publicly say nothing critical of Mr Mueller, others close to Mr Trump have condemned the investigation and accused it of overreach.
