Preet Bharara: Mueller team likely looking at everyone

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller's team is likely "looking at everyone up to" President Trump himself as it investigates Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

"I think the Mueller team is looking at every member of the campaign," Bharara said on CNN. "I think they're looking at every member of the transition team. I think they're looking at everyone up to the president of the United States himself."

Bharara, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, was ousted by Trump officials in March after he refused the Justice Department's demand to step down from his post.

Bharara's comments came hours after Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the month before Trump took office.
