Interim AG: The Mueller Report Is Almost Ready...Part LIV

Special counsel Robert Mueller's almost two-year-long investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and possible collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign team and Moscow officials, will soon come to an end, the acting attorney general said Monday afternoon.

The timing of Mueller's investigation had been a matter of intense speculation since months after it began in May 2017. "I am comfortable that the decisions that were made are going to reviewed either through the various means that we have", he told reporters.

Mueller has also charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with hacking Democratic Party emails and 13 other Russians with engaging in an online campaign to influence United States voters in the 2016 election.

Stone faces a Tuesday morning arraignment in federal court, where he is expected to plead not guilty to charges that he lied to lawmakers, engaged in witness tampering and obstructed a congressional investigation into possible coordination between Russian Federation and the Trump campaign.

"I would not countenance changing the existing regulations for the goal of removing Special Counsel Mueller without good cause", Barr wrote to the senators.

On Friday, Mueller indicted Stone, a longtime Trump confidant, on seven charges, most of which were related to Stone's testimony to the House Intelligence Committee in 2017.
