According to Politico:
Even if special counsel Robert Mueller finishes his work without filing new charges, President Donald Trump and his associates wont be in the clear.
In recent weeks, several prominent figures close to Trump have insisted that theyll survive Muellers probe unscathed. Trump himself maintains that Justice Department officials have told his lawyers he is not a target of the special counsels investigation. And his family members have sent similar signs. Trumps oldest daughter, Ivanka, recently told ABC News that she has zero concern about the investigation. Her brother, Donald Trump Jr., told Fox News on Monday that he wasnt worried because we know theres nothing there.
But Mueller is far from the only threat to the president, his family and aides.
Federal prosecutors in New York are examining Trumps 2016 campaign, inauguration and businesses. Congress has given the Justice Department dozens of hearing transcripts that could contain lies told under oath. State and local prosecutors have reportedly prepped new charges that cant be erased with a presidential pardon. And a slate of sealed indictments sit in the Washington, D.C., federal courthouse, raising the prospect that some in Trumps circle may have already been indicted and just dont know it.
