'Individual 1': Trump emerges as a central subject of Mueller probe
Source: WAPO
By Carol D. Leonnig and Josh Dawsey November 29 at 7:56 PM
In two major developments this week, President Trump has been labeled in the parlance of criminal investigations as a major subject of interest, complete with an opaque legal code name: Individual 1.
New evidence from two separate fronts of special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs investigation casts fresh doubts on Trumps version of key events involving Russia, signaling potential political and legal peril for the president. Investigators have now publicly cast Trump as a central figure of their probe into whether Trumps campaign conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 campaign.
Together, the documents show investigators have evidence that Trump was in close contact with his lieutenants as they made outreach to both Russia and WikiLeaks and that they tried to conceal the extent of their activities.
On Thursday, Trumps longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress when he insisted that Trump was not pursuing plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow after January 2016, casting Trumps repeated claims that he had no business interests in Russia in a new light. A draft special counsel document revealed Tuesday also indicates that prosecutors are closely scrutinizing Trumps interactions with a longtime adviser, Roger Stone, as he was seeking information about WikiLeaks plans to release hacked Democratic emails.

I've mostly used TrumPutin because they are inextricably tied together and a search for one should also yield the other.
