Retired four-star Adm. William McRaven weighs in on Trump investigation

In an interview with Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga, McRaven also praised special counsel Robert Mueller and explained his vision of a U.S. victory in Afghanistan.

“I’m confident that between committees and [former FBI] Director Mueller, they will get to the bottom of this one way or the other,” McRaven said. He noted that he knows Mueller well, calling him “a remarkable individual [with] incredible character and integrity.”

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Mueller was investigating whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice by firing FBI Director James Comey as the bureau was investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

McRaven also said that Russia “may be giggling a little bit” when asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer of political asylum to Comey meant that Russia was laughing at the expense of the U.S.
