Mueller breaks his silence to defend Russia investigation and Stone prosecution

Former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III broke a nearly-year long silence to defend his office’s prosecution of Roger Stone and his larger investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign, in an op-ed piece that publicly pushed back against attacks from the president and his supporters.

 

The piece, which will appear in Sunday’s Washington Post, is a remarkable departure from Mueller’s self-imposed silence as the political debate surrounding his work has continued to rage more than a year after he concluded his investigation of Russia’s interference in the last presidential election. And it underscores the degree to which the cases Mueller brought have been undone or undermined by the Trump administration and others.

 

Robert Mueller: Roger Stone remains a convicted felon, and rightly so

 

Mueller’s 700-word piece recounts the high-stakes investigation that consumed the White House for the better part of two years, resulting in convictions of a number of Trump’s confidantes, including Stone. Trump granted Stone a commutation Friday evening, just days before he was due to report to prison.
