New questions on impact of location of Mueller’s grand jury<\/a><\/h4>\n

Legal expert Alan Dershowitz weighs in<\/p>\n

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has asked the White House to provide a wide variety of documents related to his investigation into Russia\u2019s attempted meddling in the 2016 election, Fox News has confirmed.<\/p>\n

Mueller\u2019s office has provided a list of documents requested from the White House counsel\u2019s office, a legal source says. The broad request covers multiple White House staffers and includes actions Trump has taken as president.<\/p>\n

The request was expected, a source said.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s legal team declined to comment.<\/p>\n

“Out of respect for the special counsel and his process, the White House does not comment on any specific requests being made or our conversations with the special counsel,\u201d White House attorney Ty Cobb said in a statement. \u201cI can only reaffirm that the White House is committed to cooperating fully with Special Counsel Mueller.”<\/p>\n

MUELLER RATCHETS UP PRESSURE ON PAUL MANAFORT, BUT WHO IS LEAKING THESE DAMAGING DETAILS?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Mueller wants documents from 13 different areas including Trump\u2019s firing of former national security adviser Mike Flynn and former FBI director James Comey, a source said.<\/p>\n

He also wants documents related to Trump\u2019s Oval Office meeting with Russian officials and Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s infamous June 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney.<\/p>\n

A source also told Fox News that the scope of the request shows that Mueller is operating well within the parameters of his mandate to look into Russian interference in the election \u2013 and has not strayed outside the lines.<\/p>\n

The New York Times, which\u00a0first reported\u00a0<\/a>the request for documents,\u00a0said Trump\u2019s attorney has told Mueller\u2019s office he will turn over many of the documents this week.<\/p>\n
