CNN: It wasn't just Australia...Trump asked "MULTIPLE COUNTRIES" for help with Mueller.



President Donald Trump begged Russia for election help from a podium in 2016. It prompted a huge investigation by a special counsel that took up the vast majority of Trump’s presidency. It’s unclear if that scandal ever helped educate Trump on why it wasn’t acceptable. Trump then asked Ukraine to help him find dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

It was then announced Monday that Trump asked Australia for information that they provided to special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into the Russia scandal.

It goes beyond Australia, Evan Perez said on CNN. Trump reportedly requested information from multiple countries who cooperated with Mueller and the investigation.

Trump has waged a war against the Mueller investigation to find the source of the beginning. Just prior to Mueller being named as a special counsel, Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey and told NBC News anchor Lester Holt that he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation.

This is typical tRump. A source who was around him a lot said this was business as usual after Kelly left and was no longer controlling him. He did this in his business and is his MO.

yeah, they told him then foreign help was a no-no.

and making these calls the day after mueller sang?
