It is not very easy, with all the uncovered lies, investigations and court proceedings, to keep track of them. The nearly two-year tenure of the US President, Donald Trump is almost overshadowed from the beginning by accusations and suspicions, the former Familiar of Trump have come to the attention of law enforcement authorities to stand trial or have been sentenced. But in these last weeks of the year the legal disputes have reached a provisional climax. In particular, the suspicion of a possible intervention of Russia in the American presidential election campaign of 2016, the Ministry of justice appointed a special investigator Robert Mueller engaged for a year and a half. But it also Trumps business conduct and also to be private.
On Wednesday decided to wait for a man in New York before the court on the promulgation of his sentence, which had stood for twelve years, faithful to Trumps side, in the face of a threat of a long prison sentence but to cooperate with the investigators. Michael Cohen, once the personal lawyer of the President, has to answer for tax evasion and Bank fraud. But he is also the man who has paid to its own information, in the order of then-presidential candidate hush money to two Ex-lovers Trumps – what could be a violation of the election laws. Cohen didn’t want to affect with the suppression of the stories of the election, argue the law enforcers. The most important references to this possible Offense came from special investigator Mueller and the big question is, what is he still knows everything.
Mueller to clarify which agreements had trump’s campaign team with Russia. Cohen plays a Central role. According to Mueller’s findings, the Russian side was looking for early on in the election campaign, contact with the environment of the Republican candidates. Cohen has said that a Russian citizen was offered in November 2015, a cooperation, the Trump and economically can use. For the case of a meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin, the Russian have provided support for trump’s planned luxury high-rise building in Moscow. The project has not been realized, and contacts to Russia are also not illegal. But Cohen and other Ex-employees Trumps lied to long about their Russia contacts, is suspicious. If the extremely previous Mueller concealed evidence of actual support of the Trump team from Russia that would be a violation of U.S. laws, according to which it is forbidden the election campaign, the help of foreigners to accept.
know What Trump?
Crucial for the impact of the Case, Cohen and the other investigation around former employees Trumps as his Ex-campaign Manager Paul Manafort, the question of the extent to which Trump of all that knew or acting even crimes. But even if Mueller could be just the evidence, must have no legal consequences. It is controversial whether the Constitution permits criminal charges against a sitting President.
The Alternative would be for impeachment proceedings, to usher in the Democrats next year, after they took in the midterm elections in early November, the majority in the house of representatives. But so far restrained, as a Impeachment at the end of the Senate would have to decide. In the Trumps, Republicans still have a majority.
The President is allowed. He stressed on Tuesday only to Worry about a looming impeachment proceedings, but speculated also about the dangerous consequences of such a step. “It is difficult to accuse someone who has done nothing wrong and has created the largest economic boom in the history of our country,” Trump said of the news Agency Reuters in an Interview in the White house. “I’m not worried, no. I think that the people would rebel, if that were to happen.“
he’s right, at least, that an Impeachment is not automatically the Opposition uses. As of now, the majority of Americans is proceeding against impeachment because they fear that the government would be severely hindered. The Democrats have to hope that the mood is turning, if the investigators can really provide solid evidence against Trump.

In the case of demonstrative self-confidence of the President: some Republicans worry that the White house is ready for the legal storm that threatens, if Mueller submits its final report. That Trump has announced plans to separate from his chief of staff, the Ex-General John Kelly, who was supposed to bring order to the White house, makes the situation not better, nor is the fact that Trump has obviously difficulties to find a successor to Kelly.
