Mueller on the mueller investigation. thats the real pressure point for trump out of everything thats taken place today. >> steve schmidt, try to marry up these two developments today. the bombshell that the presidents personal attorneys home and offices were raided. another no-knock warrant. i think the only other one we know about was for paul manaforts computers and electronic devices and files. with the new reporting in "the new york times" that bob mueller is following the money and finding...
