Donald Trump urged to stay silent on Russia contacts investigation

Two Republican senators have said that President Donald Trump would be wise to keep a public silence on an independent investigation into his 2016 campaign’s contacts with Russia in the wake of news reports he sought to fire the special counsel.
The senators - Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine - also urged special counsel Robert Mueller to review whether Mr Trump tried to fire him last June, an accusation the president has labeled "fake news".
