Apparently, the investigation has now turned to a very close current aide to Donald Trump.
I think the 'person of interest' is Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Kushner, who seems to be given every job possible in the white house (including redesigning government, arranging visits by foreign leaders, bringing peace to the middle east), despite the fact that:
- His education is suspect (he was a poor high school student and might have only gotten into Harvard thanks to bribes from his parents)
- His business qualifications may be just as bad as Trump's, with him paying millions more for a property on Fifth Ave. New York than it was worth. (Possibly resulting in Kushner talking to Russian banks to help keep the business afloat.)
However, he does make good Subway sandwiches. (Or is that the other Jared?)

The White House does not dispute this account.
He also asked other people in the intelligence committee to help end the investigation into the Trump-Russian ties.
