Trump met with his legal team Thursday to discuss the Russia investigation, according to Politico. A White House official told Politico the discussion "centered around the nuts and bolts of how the investigation would work – and how the administration will need to handle the inquiry."
White House Counsel Don McGahn has reportedly been telling Trump to be guarded when talking about the appointment of a special counsel, and informing aides of records retention guidelines.
Context: The meeting came a day after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein blindsided the White House by appointing Robert Mueller as special counsel overseeing the probe.
