An expanding federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is placing President Trump in its crosshairs while the Trump camp and allies cry foul over what may be yet another leak.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into possible obstruction of justice. That would mark a turn for the yearlong investigation, as former FBI Director James Comey says he repeatedly told Trump that he was not the subject of the probe. That apparently changed after Trump fired Comey May 9, officials say.
