1. Mueller issued subpoenas to the Trump campaign. That actually occurred last month, but it has just become public knowledge. We knew that requests for documents had been made, but now we learn that 10 top officials were included in the subpoena demand for documents with key words related to Russia.
2. Senators Chuck Grassley and Diane Firestein, top Republican and top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, have taken the very unusual step of publicly announcing that Jared Kushner has withheld from their committee documents related to his communications with WikiLeaks late in the 2016 campaign.
Kushner has a pattern of not being forthcoming until his omissions are pointed out. He did this on his security clearance application and on other requests from other investigative committees. So it may just be a matter of now he'll give it to them, claiming that they hadn't really asked specifically for communications with WikiLeaks.
We'll see. It's being given headline status in the news. At the least, it shows impatience and displeasure with Kushner that Grassley and Firestein took this step of exposing his withholding to the public.
