President Trump has weighed in on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election time and time again. Over the past few weeks, White House lawyer Ty Cobb began sending records to the special counsel. “The White House doesn’t comment on any communications between the White House and the Office of Special Counsel out of respect for the Office of Special Counsel and its process,” Cobb said in a statement. Beyond that I can’t comment.”Mueller also asked for any email or document the White House holds that relates to Manafort, the people briefed on the requests said. Mueller has also asked for records about meetings then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates held with White House counsel Don McGahn in late January to alert him to Justice Department concerns about Flynn, as well as all documents related to Flynn’s subsequent firing by the White House.
