Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say"The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.
The move by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said."

Christie: Leaks about Mueller indictments could be a crime
"Asked if a member of Mueller’s team disclosed the impending indictment to CNN, which reported on Friday that the first charges would be filed as soon as Monday, Christie said he hoped not.
“Because, listen, as a prosecutor I can tell you, that was the thing that we emphasized the most with our prosecutors and our agents was, ‘Let me tell you, something, we will prosecute you if we find out you leaked this stuff,'” he said on ABC. “Because we have to have the public have confidence in the fact that the grand jury process is secret and as a result fair.”

Robert Mueller has no comment
"The special counsel avoids the public eye and swears others to secrecy — even as Trump allies accuse him of leaking.
Conservative legal activist Larry Klayman last month petitioned the Justice Department and two federal judges to investigate what he calls “how new improper leaks are occurring nearly every single day from Mr. Mueller’s investigation.”
“You don’t get this level of detail on what’s going on in the investigation unless you’re leaking,” Klayman said in an interview."
