Garrett Graff tells Axios there are at least six signs special counsel Robert Mueller is moving towards more indictments:

1. Mueller is tightening the screws on Jerome Corsi, a friend of former Trump adviser Roger Stone. A plea deal — or charges — appear imminent.
2. Ecuador may be moving toward turning over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The government removed its Assange-backing U.K. ambassador last week, and has prohibited his lawyers from meeting with him.
3. Russian spy and NRA superfan Maria Butina is reported to be in talks for a plea deal.
4. A number of Mueller’s prosecutors were hard at work on Veterans Day —when Michael Cohen took the train to Washington to talk to Mueller’s team.
5. ABC News reported an “unusually high” number — nearly three dozen, in fact — of sealed indictments filed over the course of the year in D.C. Fourteen of those have been added since August, a period when Mueller’s investigation was publicly quiet.
6. And this big one: President Trump last week finally turned in long-awaited written answers to Mueller’s investigators.

President Trump complained that Robert Mueller “has thus far ignored Trump 2016 campaign staff who the president said want to be interviewed for the special counsel’s Russia investigation, renewing his attacks on Mueller’s probe into allegations of collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government as biased,” Politico reports.

Said Trump: “So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be).”

A New York state judge on Friday denied a request by attorneys for President Trump to throw out a lawsuit alleging that Trump and his family violated charity laws with the management of their personal foundation, the Washington Post reports.

CNN: “In her decision, Justice Saliann Scarpulla ruled that a sitting president can face a civil lawsuit in state court for actions not taken in his official capacity. That ruling puts Scarpulla in agreement with another recent ruling against Trump, a decision in the defamation lawsuit brought against him by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice.”

“And, Scarpulla said, it is in line with the US Supreme Court’s 1997 ruling concerning President Bill Clinton in response to Paula Jones’ sexual harassment lawsuit.

“Prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller asked a federal judge to order George Papadopoulos, a former campaign adviser to President Trump, to start serving time in prison on Monday as scheduled,” the Washington Post reports.

“Papadopoulos’s lawyers had asked U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss to allow Papadopoulos to delay his two-week prison sentence while an constitutional challenge to Mueller’s appointment filed in a separate case in Washington is resolved.”

“But Mueller’s team responded that Papadopoulos waived his rights to appeal when he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and that he had failed to file his request in a timely fashion.”

President Trump and his legal team “have taken issue with some of the questions from special counsel Robert Mueller that cover the transition period after the 2016 election, believing it could be off limits under executive privilege as they pertain to the presidency,” CNN reports.

“The source would not explicitly say whether the President answered those questions other than to say that there are ‘responses’ to all of the questions that were asked.”

A federal judge upheld a federal indictment against the Russian troll farm accused of meddling in the 2016 election, handing a victory to special counsel Robert Mueller, CNN reports.

It was the second time that Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, sided with Mueller and let the case proceed.

Six days before WikiLeaks began releasing Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails, Roger Stone had a text message conversation with a friend about WikiLeaks, according to phone records obtained by NBC News.

In the texts, Randy Credico told Stone he had insights into Julian Assange’s plans through a longtime friend, who was also Assange’s lawyer.
