The alleged connections between the U.S President Trump and Russia during the U.S presidential campaign are being investigated by the grand jury. NBC News reported that the Jury has forwarded written order evidence looking entire documents involving the U.S President Trump and a host of his nearest advisers. A written document was sent to a witness by special counsel Robert Mueller. The investigators need work papers, telephone logs, emails, text messages, and other related documents since 1st November 2015 (after 4½ months from launching campaign by Trump). The witness provided required information requested in the documents. On Sunday, news website Axios reported that a document was forwarded last month to a witness. NBC News also reported that the team of Mueller asked specific questions last week regarding whether Trump noticed hacked campaign emails of Hillary Clinton before it was discovered publically.

The document indicated that Mueller might focus not just what campaign aides of Trump knew and when they discovered it, but also the knowledge of Trump. The order demanded documents having anything related to these current and former members of Trump administration. Steve Bannon left the post in August as chief strategist of White House. A personal lawyer for Trump, Michael Cohen was testified in October in front of congressional investigators. Former deputy campaign manager of Trump, Rick Gates found guilty last month to conspiracy and lying to the FBI. Last week, Hope Hicks resigned as communications director of Trump. Last week, the campaign manager of Trump, Corey Lewandowski (until June 2016) and a former campaign manager Paul Manafort were declared not involved in money laundering, conspiracy and making false statements.
