Trump seeks public exoneration as Democrats and Republicans battle over ending Russia probes
The White House and Republican lawmakers are pressing for an end to multiple investigations into the Trump campaigns dealings with Russia, aiming to clear the president as soon as possible before the taint of scandal further damages his presidency.
President Trump expects to be publicly absolved of any wrongdoing by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III by years end or soon after, and several people around him say the often-impulsive president could erupt in anger if that unlikely timeline is not met.
Some associates believe, or hope, that Trump will fire his three lawyers if he is not exonerated, opening the door for a more combative approach to the Mueller investigation that he sees as an affront to his legitimacy.
Republicans leading House and Senate probes are pressing for a rapid conclusion to their own investigations of Russias meddling in the 2016 election. Doing so would reinforce Trumps argument that links between his team and Russian intelligence have been over-hyped by the media and his political opponents.
