A top Robert Mueller prosecutor who handled Michael Flynn’s guilty plea has left the special counsel’s office amid growing signs that the Russia investigation is nearing its end
earlier this month that David Archey, its senior legal special agent on the Mueller probe, had already reported to a new job leading the Richmond, Va., field office.
Neither Mueller nor his Justice Department supervisors have said anything official about the conclusion of the special counsel’s investigation. But the clues continue to pile up that at least the most high-profile parts of Mueller’s work are done and that his final confidential report will soon be transmitted to Attorney General William Barr.
Last week, the former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort got the second of two prison sentences — resulting in a total of 7.5 years in prison — for a series of financial fraud, obstruction and conspiracy crimes. Weissmann played a lead role on the Manafort case. As for Flynn — President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, who was fired for misleading administration officials about his contacts with the Russian ambassador — Mueller’s office last week alsoa federal judge that he might still be called to testify this summer in the government’s trial against his former business partner on charges of failing to disclose foreign lobbying on behalf of Turkey.
