It is pure foolishness to insult and seek to stop the Mueller probe.

No one knows exactly what Former Director Mueller has that needs additional clarification, but, subpoenas of Trump Company records maybe the last clarification needed for conclusions to this inquiry.

There are people implicated in wrongdoing. Mr. Mueller needs all the information he can get to solidly know the direction these arrests are going to take. President Trump has provided all the records from the White House requested. There isn't anything else President Trump needs to do at this time. 

Trump Company is managed by his son, Donald Trump, Jr. The President of the United States of America would be wrong to interfere with an investigation of a company, especially because of the conflict of interest in this case. A President interfering in a federal investigation that has lead to arrests and plea deals has questionable motives and certainly violates any ethical standard of the presidency.

I would expect Don, Jr. to receive phone calls from lawyers regarding a subpoena, but, not the President. President Trump is no longer leading the company while serving in office and received the information about subpoenas second hand. Certainly, the subpoenas were served on the President to obtain records from Trump Company.

Former Director Mueller may not be able to close this case without records housed with the Trump Company. Why put the Mueller investigation into a posture that would force trails when that might be resolved with information inside the Trump Company. I think Donald Trump needs to scold his personal attorney that started this entire mess about firing the former FBI Director. President Trump's personal attorney outside the White House was wrong to ask him to be involved. The Trump Company needs to cooperate, as the White House has done, and provide whatever documents the investigation requires. 

Clarification of facts could prevent lengthy trials. Certainly, the President of the USA isn't involved in decisions within his company now that he has taken the oath of office. I find it unfortunate, president Trump has such poor council outside the White House. His private lawyer demanded the investigation to be shut down. That is very poor lawyering. The President has no interest in those subpoena's while in office.

US President Donald Trump (click here) has been warned by fellow Republican against interfering special counsel Robert Mueller's investigations.

It came after he attacked Mr Mueller's inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

In tweets at the weekend, Mr Trump reiterated that there had been "no collusion" between his team and Russia and called the probe a "witch hunt".

He added that it was dominated by "hardened Democrats".

Mr Mueller, a highly regarded former head of the FBI, is a Republican....
