Developing now, Tuesday, August 21, 2018 President Trump suggested he could take over Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as attorney Rudy Giuliani defended his recent ‘truth isn’t truth’ comments in an exclusive interview with FOX News Comedian Kevin Hart made a lewd remark against Trump, supported NFL players’ right to kneel during the national anthem during a politically-charged MTV Video Music Awards on Monday President Trump suggested in a tweet he may consider pulling former FBI official Phil Mudd’s security clearance after Mudd’s heated comments about the Trump-John Brennan feud Voters in Alaska will go to the polls to select candidates for governor and the U.S. House in primary elections on Tuesday Jurors in the fraud trial of Paul Manafort finished a third day of deliberations Monday without reaching a verdict, fueling optimism in the defense team for Trump’s former campaign manager THE LEAD STORY – ‘I COULD RUN IT IF I WANT’: President Trump asserted on Monday that he would be “totally allowed” to take over Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe if he wanted to, in another thinly veiled broadside against an investigation he has repeatedly derided as a partisan “witch hunt” … “I can go in, and I could do whatever — I could run it if I want,” Trump told Reuters. “But I decided to stay out.
