Page served as a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, and has faced intense scrutiny over his contacts with Russia. Page is also the subject of a FISA warrant issued against him to wiretap his conversations over concerns raised by his Russian ties.

13. Concord Management and Consulting

Trump has come under scrutiny for his frequent criticism of DOJ officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who each at one point had oversight for the Russia probe. The president’s firing of Comey sparked the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

17. Don McGahn

McGahn worked as the White House counsel until his departure last October. McGahn reportedly sat for hours of interviews with the special counsel’s office, and in one instance persuaded the president not to fire Robert Mueller.

18. Donald J Trump Revocable Trust

46. Michael Flynn

Flynn served a brief stint as Trump’s national security adviser, but has remained a central figure in investigations into the administration.

67. Trump Foundation

The president’s private charity is already the subject of a lawsuit with New York state, alleging that it participated in a “shocking pattern of illegality.” Among the allegations are that Trump used the charity to illegally benefit his campaign, as well as settle issues with his privately owned Mar-a-Lago estate.

68. Trump Organization

Questions about the president’s private business have been a sticking point for Democrats, some of whom have suggested that Trump may be using the presidency for financial benefit.

Props to you!

 

Too late

 

I remember one of you threatening to rape the other one's wife and in response one of you threatened to burn the others house down.

I had nothing to do with it, it was back from Oregonlive, why you had the police call me over it was odd.

 

Not sure why you came to that conclusion?

Maris and Marzy, you mean?
