Trump Threatens Lawsuits Against 'Everyone' Responsible for Mueller's Russia Probe

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he could start filing multiple lawsuits against US officials responsible for the Russia probe by special counsel Robert Mueller while demanding a new trial for his former aide Roger Stone over tainted jury allegations.

Jackson, who is slated to sentence Stone this week, faces a request for a new trial over tainted jury claims, as well as conflicting sentencing recommendations from the Justice Department.

Four prosecutors quit the case after Barr rejected their recommendation that Stone serve up to nine years in prison for lying during the Mueller probe as excessive.
