WASHINGTON (Reuters) The probe of possible Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, is wrapping up, Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told reporters on Monday.
Ive been fully briefed on the investigation and I look forward to Director Mueller delivering the final report, he said at a press conference on U.S. charges against Chinas Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. Right now the investigation is I think close to being completed and I hope that we can get the report from Director Mueller as soon as possible.
The investigation most recently ensnared a long-time confidant of President Donald Trump, political operative Roger Stone, and has led to the conviction of Trumps former campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
Mueller has been tight-lipped about when the months of closed-door grand jury sessions and plea deals will conclude, leaving questions over how far into the White House his probe will reach and what will happen to his findings. Trumps nominee to fill the attorney general post permanently, William Barr, recently pledged to make public as much of the report as possible, saying Mueller is required to file it confidentially.

(17,235 posts)Anyone around drumpf has always answered this question the same way because drumpf probably asks that same question a thousand times a day. No one knows when Mueller will be done till Mueller is done. "Thinking it is close to completion" pacifies drumpf for the moment and temporarily gets him off their back.

(9,670 posts)Special Counsel is nowhere near being finished. These are Trump's words inserted into Whitaker's mouth, more wishful thinking from the lead character in The Indictables.
A rolled Stone colludes no mas. And Trump is holding back a pantload.
