Trump had received private assurances from former FBI Director James Comey starting in January that he was not personally under investigation. The White House now refers all questions about the Russia investigation to Trump’s personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz. Mueller’s office has now taken up that work, and the preliminary interviews scheduled with intelligence officials indicate his team is actively pursuing potential witnesses inside and outside the government.
