Важная веха пройдена вчера. Трамп отметил день рожденья и 10% своего 4-летнего президентского срока. Помимо антироссийских санкций, подарком стал судебный иск 200 демократических конгрессменов о нарушении Конституции

Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief establishing that Defendant violates the Constitution when he accepts any monetary or nonmonetary benefit-any “present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever”-from a foreign state without first obtaining “the Consent of the Congress.” Plaintiffs also seek injunctive relief ordering Defendant not to accept any such benefits from a foreign state without first obtaining “the Consent of the Congress.”

а также публичное подтверждение того, что Трамп находится под расследованием специального прокурора Мюллера за попытку помешать правосудию. О последнем сообщает Washington Post:

The obstruction-of-justice investigation of the president began days after Comey was fired on May 9, according to people familiar with the matter. Mueller’s office has taken up that work, and the preliminary interviews scheduled with intelligence officials indicate that his team is actively pursuing potential witnesses inside and outside the government.

Помимо давления на Коми, которое закончилось его увольнением, свидетельствами преступных действий Трампа являются его попытки надавить на руководителей разведки, в частности директора АНБ. Wall Street Journal добавляет деталей:

Mr. Mueller’s team is planning to interview Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers as part of its examination of whether Mr. Trump sought to obstruct justice, the person said.
The special counsel also plans to interview Rick Ledgett, who recently retired as the deputy director of the NSA, the person added.
While Mr. Ledgett was still in office, he wrote a memo documenting a phone call that Mr. Rogers had with Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. During the call, the president questioned the veracity of the intelligence community’s judgment that Russia had interfered with the election and tried to persuade Mr. Rogers to say there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russian officials, they said.

В этих сообщениях также просачивается информация о том, что в связи с российскими связями команда Мюллера изучает вопрос отмывания денег.

A former senior official said Mr. Mueller’s investigation was looking at money laundering by Trump associates. The suspicion is that any cooperation with Russian officials would most likely have been in exchange for some kind of financial payoff, and that there would have been an effort to hide the payments, probably by routing them through offshore banking centers.
