![]() ![]() Prosecutors are reportedly looking into the financial dealings of Trump’s inauguration committee, which took in a record $107 million for the festivities surrounding his inauguration, in January 2017. Here’s what’s left, as far as we know: The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New YorkĪt least three investigations in this district have not yet concluded. Even though the special counsel’s probe is over, some of the investigations remain ongoing. Many of the investigations that Mueller’s team prosecuted or referred to other prosecutors ended up in federal attorneys’ offices in the Washington, D.C., area. Here’s a list of all the ongoing government investigations that could spell legal trouble for Trump, regardless of whether he’s president, and the people and entities associated with him. At the same time, several congressional committees are also pursuing their own investigations. Mueller referred a number of cases to federal prosecutors in New York, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.-and their investigations are ongoing. As a direct result of Mueller and his team’s work, at least eight people, including Manafort and Cohen, were convicted of crimes ranging from unregistered foreign lobbying to campaign-finance violations. Mueller’s probe pursued multiple lines of inquiry, spiraling out from Trump’s immediate circle into investigations implicating foreign nationals and Washington lobbyists. The special counsel’s office also unearthed a web of criminality, not always directly related to Russian interference. His probe ensnared Trump’s business associates, many of whom had become involved in his political career, including his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But Mueller’s investigation has led to 215 criminal charges, 38 indictments or pleas, and five prison sentences so far. Both Trump and Russia have consistently denied this. What has ended is the Department of Justice’s investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election, which began after the United States assessed that Moscow had intervened in the vote to tip the election in Trump’s favor. But President Donald Trump’s legal troubles are far from finished. ![]() After 675 days, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is over.
