A look at special counsel Robert Mueller's team of lawyers
By eric tucker, associated press
WASHINGTON Jun 21, 2017, 12:06 PM ET
At the top is Robert Mueller, who spent 12 years as director of the FBI before retiring from the bureau in 2013. He left the WilmerHale law firm last month to serve as special counsel in charge of the investigation.
The group he's already assembled with experience in international organized crime and the fundamentals of criminal and national security law suggests he's prepared to dig deep in a wide-ranging and probably lengthy investigation.
ANDREW WEISSMANN: The veteran Justice Department prosecutor brings years of experience in complex financial fraud cases, corporate misconduct and organized crime.
LISA PAGE: Page is a former trial attorney in the Justice Department's organized crime and gang section.
JEANNIE RHEE: Another WilmerHale partner, Rhee focused in private practice on representing people in government investigations, including white-collar criminal probes and criminal and civil fraud matters.
