The US Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of
FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into
Russian election hacking in 2016, instigated by Donald Trump’s attorney general
William Barr and widely seen as a retaliatory measure to explore “deep state” liberal bias, is now “a criminal inquiry”, according to reports.The president meanwhile finds himself under renewed pressure as lawyers for Summer Zervos, a former candidate on his reality show The Apprentice who has accused Mr Trump of sexual assault, say their client has evidence to corroborate her claim that he attacked her in a
Los Angeles hotel room in 2007.
