MUELLER INVESTIGATION UPDATE 2019: TROUBLE FOR TRUMP AS EXPERTS PREDICT BIGGEST INDICTMENTS STILL TO [View all]


It’s an investigation that’s led to dozens of indictments, seven guilty pleas and one conviction. Some of the president’s closest allies have been sentenced to jail, even after flipping on him and cooperating in lieu of leniency.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is widely reported to be winding down his investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 election and could submit a report to the attorney general as early as February. Former federal prosecutors, including one that worked on the Watergate investigation, have told Newsweek there is no certainty as to how much longer the probe could last, but they do believe Mueller’s most consequential and important indictments are yet to come.

It’s probable, the former prosecutors say, that Mueller still has his sights set on individuals at the highest levels of the United States government: President Donald Trump and his family.


Although costing millions of dollars, the probe has uncovered numerous schemes by a foreign adversary to hack and influence American elections through complex social media campaigns and cyber-attacks on elections systems.
