Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is looking into President Donald Trump’s business dealings with Russia prior to his 2016 election, CNN reported Tuesday. Investigators are said to be questioning whether the Russians had compromising information on Trump, and how they may have attempted to influence him during his business dealings. Trump’s failed attempt to build a Trump Tower in Moscow and the financing for Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in 2013 also appear to be the subjects of questions, CNN said. The move risks another clash with Trump, who has said that his family finances before the election should be off-limits to Mueller’s investigation.
