Donald Trump is emotionally withdrawing and gaining weight as the FBI investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and the Russian government creeps closer to the Oval Office.
As he returns from his mercurial trip abroad, the president is forced to deal with the fallout from news that members of his inner circle, including son-in-law and Secretary of Everything Jared Kushner is a person of interest in the FBI probe.
CNNs Gloria Borger reports the president was already in a pretty glum mood when he set out for a multi-day blitz through Europe and the Middle East. But now he faces even more legal woes after reports revealed Kushner tried to establish a backchannel line of communication between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin. Hes even brought on his longtime personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, who will supervise the president legal team.
One source told Borger Trumps major misstep was firing former FBI Director James Comey, which ultimately resulted int he appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

(9,865 posts)...it was Kushner who advised him to fire Comey. Think of the family impact of that, if true.
These people are cockroaches---they do not to well out in the light of day under scrutiny.
