Special counsel Robert Mueller's top deputy is leaving his post, adding to speculation that Mueller's office is winding down its work
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top deputy is leaving his post, adding to speculation that Mueller's office is winding down its work.
Deputy Special Counsel Andrew Weissmann, who oversaw Mueller's high- profile cases against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is expected to leave the office soon and take a teaching post at New York University this fall, a source familiar with the move.Earlier this month, David Archer, the senior FBI agent overseeing the law enforcement agency's work for the Special Counsel's office took up a new post as head of the FBIs Richmond office.
In addition, Manafort's second sentencing Wednesday drew an unusually large crowd of prosecutors and investigators--about 30 in all. The massive presence could also be a signal that many involved in the probe wanted to see what could be one of the final public steps in Mueller's probe. poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201903/3951/1155968404_6013529254001_6013519949001-vs.jpg?pubId=1155968404"Several other cases filed by Mueller's office remain pending, but in nearly all of them Mueller's team has lined up other, permanent prosecutors from the Justice Department or U.S. Attorney's Office.
