What Investigations Are Ongoing?
​

There are a number of federal investigations going on concerning members of the Trump administration and campaign staff, concerning their possible interaction with Russian government intervention in the 2016 presidential election.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Trump campaign and administration involvement in Russian government interference in the 2016 election. He has recently expanded his office and added a secure compartmentalized information facility (SCIF).

The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Senators Richard Burr and Mark Warner, is investigating interference in the 2016 election, and how to prevent interference in future elections.

The House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Representative Devin Nunes and Representative Adam Schiff, is investigating aspects of the interaction between the Russian government and the Trump administration. Recently Jeh Johnson, former Director of the Department of Homeland Security, testified in open hearing.
Chairman Nunes has recused himself from matters relating to the Trump campaign and the Trump administration, due to his position as a member of the transition team and subsequent interactions with the Trump administration.
