The nearly two-year special counsel investigation of Russian election interference led by Robert Mueller cost nearly $32 million in total, a new filing shows.
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller exits during a break in testimony during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on the Office of Special Counsel's investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election on Capitol Hill in Washington, July 24, 2019.
But Democrats have countered that the millions of dollars estimated to be forfeited from individuals found guilty through the probe — such as Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort — effectively zeroed out the costs.

Money better spent than the more than $100 million taxpayers spent for Trump’s travel to his golf resorts.
Peanuts to the establishment.
The only thing they know how to do in Washington is waste money. People should realize that most of them in Government are lawyers and can’t run a business and like most lawyers know how to spend the clients money
No big deal..Democrats enjoy spending other peoples money🤷♂️
What a waste of money
😡😡😡😡😡
How much for golf?
kuku27 There should be limits on expenditure.A budget needs to govern expenses
What a gigantic waste and the Demwits won’t even apologize.
If the cost would’ve been $132 million it would have been worth every penny
He proved that Russian interference is there.
How much has Russian interference in our democracy cost?
I want a total refund!
How much have tax payers shelled out for DJT🤥💩to play golf 🏌️⁉️Forbes estimated $340 million why isn’t CNBC publicizing that⁉️Because CNBC is a buttlicking DJT🤥💩propaganda tool‼️Mueller’s probe best money 🇺🇸 ever spent‼️
You mean, the Dimocrats’ probe ... racking up more deficit spending.
Then tell me why the taxpayers who funded it should not be entitled to see the entire, unredacted report. I’ll wait here.
$32MM of wasted taxpayers $...no wonder a majority of Americans can’t stand those nitwits in DC...$32MM !!!
Trump should pick up the bill since he’s spent over $110 mil on golf
How much money was recouped from forfeitures?
What a total disgrace Time to investigate the investigators
Money in the toilet.
Wow!! What a waste of money! Can the DNC pay the country back?
Much less than Trump has spent to play golf.
Please provide a BD by line item expense.
Thankfully the Russians paid for it.
Many many miles of Mexican wall cud have been built with these funds !
Disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All because of corrupt Obama wanted to fix the election for Hillary!!!!
AND WORTH EVERY DAMN PENNY!
So less than a golf weekend............................ Of the hundred+ days so far... Hmm
And they recovered 45 M from Manafort's assets. In other words, they turned a profit.
So Manafort paid for the report and there’s some $$$ leftover. Good job!
Imagine all of the hookers Trump could have paid for sex and to be quiet about it with that money instead.... Good thing that Michael Cohen got thrown in prison for it!
How much has the President'trips cost? To his own property.
That's a lot of $ not used on the Wall!
What a horrible waste. So many homeless families could have been rehabilitated
THIS WAS A GREAT USE OF OUR MONEY...ALMOST COSTS AS MUCH AS TRUMP’S GOLFING EXCEPT WE GET NOTHING OUT OF THAT!! MUELLER ALSO GOT MONEY BACK IN OUR COFFERS FROM MANAFORT AND SOME OTHER CROOKS!
Adding 0.000001% to the national debt seems like a fair price to pay to attempt to protect American democracy from the out of control lying sack of shit in the White House.
So the same amount that we pay as taxpayers, for a weekend golf trip for the traitor-in-chief.
The government recovered 42 million in assets from one of Trump's cronies. So....technically....the government made 10 million dollars. Of course...Trump's little golfing jaunts have costed over 100 million so far. So, that ten million in profit means nothing.
Just curious, does anybody know what all of Trumps frequent golf trips have cost us? The Mueller investigation gave us subpoenas and jail time. Should we really be putting a price on putting criminals in jail?
A Socialist=Dem=Liberal scam that cost 32 million, well that is cheep compared to some of them. FACT
realDonaldTrump seanhannity FoxNews all Hillary supporter democrat lawyers on mueller team got rich
At any point, The Pres and his peeps could have handed over documents, testified openly, and cleared everything up quickly since they all claimed total innocence. Would have cost way less, I'm thinking. They're still doing some expensive foot-dragging.
so 4-5 golf trips to FL?
Now do Benghazi
That’s chump change, it’s too bad everybody who was supposed to read the Mueller report didn’t even read it 🤦🏽♀️
trump said the chinese will pay for it TulsiGabbard
Comey and the DNC should get the bill to reimburse taxpayers
Trump golfing while it was going on = $105mil.
how mich did it recover ?
And it recovered $42 million in forfeitures from Paul Manafort alone, more than covering the cost of the investigation.
How many people could have been fed with that money.... Thank you Democrats for wasting my tax dollars because you are mad you lost.
And Trump's gonna pay for it!
Talk about money for nothing.
