The independent investigation into possible ties between Russian efforts to interfere in last year’s election and associates of President Donald Trump is necessary, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview that aired Monday morning, so that the issue can be put to rest.

The Department of Justice announced last week that former FBI Director Robert Mueller had been appointed as a special prosecutor to oversee the Russia investigation, a move that the president took little time to characterize as “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.” But Haley, visiting Jordan on her first foreign trip as Trump’s representative at the UN, voiced support for Mueller’s appointment.


“I think we absolutely need the investigation,” she told NBC’s “Today” show. “I think that all these questions need to be answered so that the administration can get back to work.”
