In a heavily redacted filing ahead of Michael Flynn's Dec. 18 sentencing, Mueller recommended a light sentence — possibly no incarceration — for President Trump's ex-senior national security official and campaign surrogate. 

Senior Russian officials publicly chided U.S. President Donald Trump following his announcement on Thursday that he would no longer meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during the G-20 summit of world leaders in Argentina this week.

President Donald Trump has told special counsel Robert Mueller in writing he  didn't know in advance about a 2016 Trump Tower meeting, nor did Roger Stone tip him to a WikiLeaks dump of hacked Democratic National Committee emails.

A breakdown in the cooperation agreement between former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and special counsel Robert Mueller suggests prosecutors believe they were told substantial lies, according to law enforcement experts.

As he slammed the special counsel, Trump echoed the attacks against the investigation recently launched by right-wing conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, who claimed a day earlier that he has rejected a plea deal offered by Mueller. 

"You always have to be careful answering questions for people who have bad intentions," Trump told reporters Friday. The president has often criticized the Mueller probe, calling it a "witch hunt" and a "hoax."

The question-and-answer phase between Trump's legal team and Mueller follows months of negotiations between the two sides over the format and subject matter of a potential interview with the president.

While the president has championed tough measures against some criminals, he has also assailed law enforcement tactics used to target his own supporters and business associates.

NBC News says Rosenstein will refuse to resign if asked to do so.

ABC News reported investigators have asked Michael Cohen about whether President Donald Trump or his associates had discussed a possible pardon for the lawyer, who pleaded guilty last month to federal criminal charges.

Trump's comment came five days after Manafort pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges brought by Mueller in federal court in Washington, D.C., and agreed to cooperate with the prosecutor in an ongoing probe of the Trump campaign and other issues.

As part of his plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller, former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort agreed to forfeit real estate and cash estimated to be worth between $42 million and $46 million.

If Trump were to pardon Manafort now, the special counsel already knows what Manafort said and can still compel him to testify with a grand jury subpoena, according to former Justice Department official Matt Miller.

Trump has offered support for his former campaign manager throughout Manafort's legal battle with Mueller. Friday's retraction raised questions about whether the goodwill could be short-lived.
