随着俄罗斯调查的结束和前特别顾问罗伯特·穆勒的国会证词的支持，唐纳德·特朗普总统声称对其犯罪行为的指控是正确的。但仍有许多针对他的政府和企业的调查正在进行，法律专家称这些调查是一个严重的威胁。
国家安全法专家布拉德利·莫斯(Bradley Moss)表示:“特朗普政府仍面临一系列广泛的调查，其中许多调查对总统本人构成了个人风险。”新闻周刊。“简而言之，总统可能已经避开了对其总统任期最引人注目的威胁，但他一点也不安全。”
特朗普周三取得胜利之前，穆勒首次回答了议员们就他对俄罗斯选举干预的两年调查提出的问题。总统告诉记者，这是“对我们国家来说非常重要的一天”，而且“你可以说对我来说这是伟大的一天。”
但是，尽管备受期待的听证会没有透露多少新信息，穆勒重申(这次是宣誓)他的报告绝不是无罪的总统。他还批评特朗普鼓励维基解密发布被黑客攻击的民主党电子邮件是“非常有问题的”，并告诉立法者总统在回答质询时并不总是诚实或完整的。他补充说，接受外国势力的竞选援助是“不爱国”和“错误的”
最终，证词将如何，甚至是否会影响公众对特朗普总统任期的看法，穆勒的出现是否会推动弹劾程序，还有待观察。众议院议长南希·佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)表示，听证会是白宫“沉默锥和掩盖真相”的“强烈表现”，但仍拒绝支持特朗普下台的进程。
但是前联邦检察官迈克尔·斯特恩说新闻周刊不应该仅仅因为穆勒的调查和证词已经结束而忽视俄罗斯调查的重要性。如果特朗普在2020年败诉，他有可能被指控为妨碍俄罗斯调查的普通公民。
斯特恩说，“尽管特朗普是这场风暴的焦点，但俄罗斯的调查可能仍然是他面临危险的最大来源。”。“昨天，穆勒明确表示，特朗普一旦卸任，就会被控妨碍司法公正。在这个选举周期中，我们应该期待特朗普会打得更脏。这一次，它不是一场权力争夺，而是一场避开牢房内部的战斗。”
与此同时，约有30项正在进行的调查威胁到特朗普的总统任期。这些调查与他的企业、他2016年的竞选、就职委员会和他的总统政府有关，其中一些问题有望在2020年大选前得到解决。
国会调查
自1月份接管众议院以来，民主党人发起了几项调查，这些调查可能会给总统带来麻烦。今年3月，众议院司法委员会主席杰罗德·纳德勒表示，他们需要继续调查，以便在弹劾案中“说服美国公众”。
众议院监督和改革委员会正在调查特朗普可能在隐瞒封口费、可能滥用白宫安全审查程序以及他提议在沙特阿拉伯进行的核冒险中扮演的角色。
众议院情报委员会正在调查特朗普与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的沟通以及外国对总统的潜在影响。该委员会还在调查特朗普或其政府成员可能试图阻挠司法公正的行为。
众议院筹款委员会仍在试图获得特朗普的纳税申报单。本周早些时候，特朗普起诉委员会阻止披露他的财务文件。特朗普的律师在一份声明中表示，这起诉讼是“结束总统骚扰”努力的一部分。
此外，穆勒报告发表后，众议院民主党人希望获得前白宫法律顾问唐·麦克甘和副法律顾问安妮·唐纳森的证词。麦克甘是俄罗斯调查中令人惊讶的明星证人。特朗普多次指示他解除特别顾问的职务，然后告诉他对媒体隐瞒这一请求，这让他大为震惊。
2019年7月24日，唐纳德·特朗普总统在离开华盛顿特区白宫南草坪之前，在与媒体成员交谈时停顿了一下。
联邦刑事调查
联邦检察官目前正在处理的一些最引人注目的案件包括对罗杰·斯通(Roger Stone)的刑事审判，罗杰·斯通是一名顶级共和党筹款人，还有一项与特朗普就职委员会有关的潜在洗钱计划。
作为穆勒调查的一部分，特朗普的长期密友斯通于今年1月被捕。他被指控在2016年竞选期间篡改证人证词，并就他与维基解密的沟通向国会撒谎。他的审判定于11月。
司法部是目前正在调查商业和政治交易埃利奥特·布罗迪。布罗迪是共和党的最高筹款人，并帮助总统在2016年选举中获得资金。他后来担任成立委员会的副主席。调查人员正在调查布罗迪是否利用他与特朗普的关系为他的全球安全公司谋利。
纽约南区的联邦检察官正在调查特朗普就职典礼可能引发的腐败。调查的焦点是成立委员会如何筹集和使用他们的资金。今年2月，SDNY向委员会发出了一份范围广泛的传票，显示调查人员正在调查从虚假陈述到邮件欺诈、电报欺诈、反美国阴谋和洗钱等各种问题。
州和地方调查
州和地方一级的许多调查正在审查特朗普组织的商业行为和总统就职委员会。几乎所有的案件都是民事调查。
在华盛顿特区和新泽西，总检察长正在调查特朗普的就职委员会。一个案例是调查外国人是否为委员会做出了贡献，另一个案例是调查特朗普的子女和企业在就职典礼中的角色。
特朗普组织因涉嫌滥用慈善资产和违反竞选财务条例而受到调查。该组织还被指控夸大金融资产。特朗普家族也因潜在的非法税收计划受到纽约总检察长的调查。
纽约和新泽西的官员也在调查总统高尔夫俱乐部雇佣无证工人的指控。在他位于纽约的布莱尔克利夫庄园俱乐部，无证员工说他们被迫无偿加班。在特朗普的贝德明斯特新泽西州度假胜地，无证工人表示，他们获得了伪造的绿卡和其他文件。
DONALD TRUMP STILL FACES DOZENS OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS AFTER MUELLER PROBE: 'HE BY NO MEANS IS SAFE'
With the Russia investigation closed and former special counsel Robert Mueller's congressional testimony behind him, President Donald Trump has claimed vindication over accusations of his criminal wrongdoings. But there are still a number of ongoing investigations against his administration and his business that legal experts say are a serious threat.
"The Trump administration still faces a wide array of investigations, many of them that pose personal risk for the president himself," Bradley Moss, a national security law expert, told Newsweek. "In short, the president may have parried away the most high-profile threat to his presidency, but he by no means is safe."
Trump's victory lap on Wednesday came after Mueller fielded questions from lawmakers for the first time on his two-year probe into Russian election interference. The president told reporters that it was "a very big day for our country" and "you could say it was a great day for me."
But while the highly-anticipated hearings didn't reveal much new information, Mueller reiterated (this time under oath) that his report in no way exonerated the president. He also criticized Trump's encouragement of Wikileaks' release of hacked Democratic emails as "extremely problematic" and told lawmakers the president wasn't always being truthful or complete in responding to inquiries. Receiving campaign assistance from a foreign power, he added, was "unpatriotic" and "wrong."
It ultimately remains to be seen how, or even if, the testimony will affect public views of Trump's presidency and whether Mueller's appearance might move the needle on impeachment proceedings. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the hearings were a "strong manifestation" of the White House's "cone of silence and their cover-up" but still declined to endorse the process of removing Trump.
But former federal prosecutor Michael Stern told Newsweek that the significance of the Russia investigation should not be overlooked just because the Mueller probe and testimony has come to an end. It is possible for Trump to be indicted as a private citizen for obstructing justice throughout the Russia probe if he loses in 2020.
"Despite the other investigations in which Mr. Trump is the eye of the storm, the Russia investigation likely remains his greatest source of jeopardy," Stern said. "Yesterday, Mueller made clear Trump can be indicted for obstruction of justice once he's out of office. This election cycle we should expect to see Trump fight even dirtier. This time around it's less a power grab and more a battle to avoid the inside of a prison cell."
In the meantime, there are about 30 ongoing investigations that threaten Trump's presidency. The probes relate to his businesses, his 2016 campaign, the inauguration committee and his presidential administration and some of them are on track to be resolved before the 2020 election.
Congressional Investigations
Since taking over the House of Representatives in January, Democrats have launched several inquiries that could spell trouble for the president. In March, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said they needed to pursue the investigations in order to "persuade the American public" on impeachment.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee is investigating Trump's possible role in concealing hush money payments, possible abuses of the White House security clearance process and his proposed nuclear venture in Saudi Arabia.
The House Intelligence Committee is looking into Trump's communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin and potential foreign influence over the president. The committee is also investigating possible attempts by Trump or those in his administration to obstruct justice.
The House Ways and Means Committee is still trying to get its hands on Trump's tax returns. Earlier this week, Trump sued the committee to block the disclosure of his financial documents. The lawsuit is part of an effort to "end presidential harassment," Trump's attorney said in a statement.
Plus, in the wake of the Mueller report, House Democrats want to secure testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn and deputy counsel Annie Donaldson. McGahn was a surprising star witness in the Russia investigation. He dropped the bombshell that Trump instructed him multiple times to remove the special counsel and then told him to lie to the media about the request.

Federal Criminal Investigations
Some of the most high-profile cases currently being worked on by federal prosecutors include the criminal trial of Roger Stone, a top Republican fundraiser and a potential money laundering scheme related to Trump's inaugural committee.
Stone, a longtime Trump confidant, was arrested in January as part of the Mueller investigation. He's been charged with witness tampering and lying to Congress about his communication with WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign. His trial is set for November.
The Justice Department is currently investigating the business and political dealings of Elliott Broidy. Broidy is a top fundraiser for the GOP and helped the president attain funds during the 2016 election. He later served as a vice chair of the inaugural committee. Investigators are examining whether Broidy exploited his relationship with Trump to benefit his global security firm.
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are looking into potential corruption involving Trump's inauguration. The focus of the probe is how the inaugural committee gathered and spent their money. The SDNY issued a wide-ranging subpoena to the committee in February, which showed that investigators were looking at everything from false statements to mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy against the United States and money laundering.
State and Local Investigations
Many of the investigations at the state and local level are examining the Trump Organization's business practices and the president's inaugural committee. Nearly all of the cases are civil investigations.
In Washington D.C. and New Jersey, the attorneys general are looking into Trump's inaugural committee. One case is investigating whether foreigners contributed to the committee and the other is examining the role of Trump's children and business in the inauguration.
The Trump Organization is being investigated for alleged misuse of charitable assets and campaign finance violations. The organization has also been accused of inflating financial assets. The Trump family is also being investigated by the New York attorney general for potentially illegal tax schemes.
Officials in New York and New Jersey are also looking into allegations that undocumented workers were employed at the president's golf clubs. At his Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. club, undocumented employees say they were forced to work extra hours without pay. In Trump's Bedminster N.J. resort, undocumented workers say there were given fraudulent green cards and other documents.
