WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier this week, media reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expanding the Russia investigation to include president Trump's financial records going as far back as a decade.
"The question is not what is there to hide, the question is what was the purpose of this investigation: Russia," Conway told Fox News. "The investigations have stalled. Where is this all going, if you keep opening every shoot and door?"
The news came a day after President Donald Trump told the New York Times that investigating his finances as part of the probe would constitute a breach of Mueller's mandate.
However, Conway argued that the expansion sways the investigation away from its core subject matter and creates an unnecessary roadblock.
Trump has called the investigation a witch hunt, while Russia has repeatedly refuted all US allegations of election meddling, calling them absurd and intended to deflect public attention from actual revealed instances of election fraud and corruption.
