<\/a>It appears that Robert Mueller has filed his first criminal charges in his investigation<\/a>: <\/div>\n

The first charges have been issued in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and possible collusion by members of the Trump campaign and arrests could be imminent, according to several reports.<\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>, Reuters<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported that a grand jury has approved charges filed by investigators led by special counsel Robert Mueller against at least one person, and the indictment has been sealed by a federal judge, pending arrest. There was no information of the nature of the charges or their target. The reports suggested one or more arrests could take place as early as Monday. <\/p>\n

That would take the broad investigation into Russia\u2019s role in the election, which has hung over Donald Trump\u2019s presidency since it began, to a new level, raising questions over how the White House and its allies would respond. Trump and his supporters have disparaged Mueller and tried to portray him as a sympathiser of Hillary Clinton and James Comey, the FBI chief fired by Trump<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My I’ve searched, and found nothing definitive on who will actually be on Muller’s hit parade.<\/p>\n

My money would be on it be either Paul Manafort or Roger Stone, but we should find out in the next couple of days
