В звездной команде Мюллера - уже 13 юристов, и их охват продолжает расширяться.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought 13 lawyers on board to handle the Russia investigation, with plans to hire more, according to his spokesman Peter Carr.

Один из юристов, Лиса Пейдж, работала по делу Дмитрия Фирташа.

Page has deep experience with money laundering and organized crime cases, including investigations where she’s partnered with an FBI task force in Budapest, Hungary, that focuses on eastern European organized crime. That Budapest task force helped put together the still-unfolding money laundering case against Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash, a one-time business partner of Manafort.

Последние известия про Фирташа - с помощью дорогих адвокатов он пытается отбиться от экстрадиции и обжаловать возбужденное против него дело, упирая на то, что никогда не был в США.

Nearly three months after an Austrian court ruled that Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash can be extradited to Chicago, we're still no closer to knowing if he'll ever show up.
The billionaire - who has ties to the Kremlin and to President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort - is wanted in federal court to face racketeering charges.
But his all-star legal team, which includes former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb, Clinton White House counsel Lanny Davis and former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff aren't waiting for Firtash to land on American soil.
Webb on Tuesday filed a motion asking U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer to toss the case, arguing that the alleged international titanium racket that Firtash is accused of masterminding has nothing to do with Chicago or the U.S.

Предыдущие сообщения о том, что Мюллер расследует финансовые преступления, конкретизированы - центральным объектом расследования, как и предполагалось, является Кушнер.

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is investigating the finances and business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, as part of the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Прчувствовав, что запахло жаренным Майк Пенс срочно обзавёлся собственным адвокатом.

Vice President Pence has hired outside legal counsel to help with both congressional committee inquiries and the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.
The vice president’s office said Thursday that Pence has retained Richard Cullen, a Richmond-based lawyer and chairman of McGuireWoods who previously served as a U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Хотя нет свидетельств того, чтобы Пенс был лично замечен в контактах избирательной кампании Трампа с российскими представителями, ему приходилось по этому поводу врать. Как председатель переходной комиссии, он был также вовлечён в назначение Флинна несмотря на его проблематичность. Своим собственным назначением на пост вице-президента Пенс частично обязан Манафорту.
