This week, the FBI stormed the office of Donald Trump's longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen — the same man who paid $130,000 to hush up Stormy Daniels — which led Trump, to make the most direct threat yet to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and shut down the investigation.
The information leading to this raid sprang from Mueller's independent investigation into the Trump team's connection to Russian efforts to interfere with our elections and Trump's obstruction of justice — a probe that has already yielded multiple guilty pleas, dozens of indictments, and is closing in on Trump's closest allies.
But Trump called it a "disgrace" and accused the FBI of "breaking in" to Cohen's office. Trump is fuming. And following his comments tonight, Washington is on heightened alert for him to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller's investigation, or Mueller himself.
