WASHINGTON — Robert Mueller III, the special counsel leading the Justice Department's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, announced Wednesday that he’s done, and he’s leaving.
Mueller’s announcement at the Justice Department on Wednesday was his first public statement since accepting the role of special counsel. He did not take questions from reporters after. In his 400-plus page report, Mueller found there was no evidence that Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russian government during the election, a conclusion that Trump and his supporters have touted as a complete victory.
Mueller also said Wednesday he expected he would not speak further about his investigation, including before Congress, even as Democrats have pushed for him to testify. “So beyond what I’ve said here today and what is contained in our written work, I do not believe it is appropriate for me to speak further about the investigation or to comment on the actions of the Justice Department or Congress,” Mueller said.
Asked why he didn’t just fire Mueller, Trump replied, “Well, I think it’s a disgrace what’s going on. We’ll see what happens. But I think it’s really a sad situation when you look at what happened. And many people have said, ‘You should fire him.’” The special counsel's office also brought charges against Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer with ties to Manafort and Gates, as well as a Russian troll farm accused of attempting to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
