Report: Mueller Probe Could End Next Week

Chuck Ross on February 20, 2019

The special counsel’s investigation could wrap up as soon as next week with the delivery of a confidential report to the Justice Department, CNN is reporting.

According to the network, Attorney General William Barr is preparing to receive a report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who took over an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign on May 17, 2017.

Barr, who was confirmed to office last week, will determine soon after receiving Mueller’s report what information will be provided to Congress.

The exact end date for the Mueller probe has been a longstanding source of speculation in Washington, D.C. In December, NBC News reported that Mueller & Co. planned to deliver a report by mid-February. But a delay in Barr’s confirmation may have contributed to a delay in handing over the report.

According to CNN, there have been several signs that the investigation was close to wrapping up.

A grand jury used in the Mueller probe has not met since Jan. 24, the day that an indictment was handed down against Trump confidant Roger Stone, CNN reports. Reporters have also observed prosecutors removing boxes of documents from the special counsel’s offices.

Though the special counsel’s core investigation appears poised to end, several U.S. attorney’s offices are handling cases that have been spun off of the original probe. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C. as well as prosecutors in New York and Virginia are prosecuting several cases that originated with Mueller.

Prosecutors in Washington, for instance, are working jointly on the case against Stone, who was charged with making false statement to the House Intelligence Committee.

  • this "probe" was nothing more than a witch hunt...now we need to get the real criminals before the courts.-Dillary and her band of thieves...I hope the new AG, Barr will bring some charges to those who are the guilty ones...start by firing Mueller...

  • The Mueller probe is never going to end. It's going to on and on and on forever until they find something, ANYTHING they can use against the President they hate. People need to be tried for treason, convicted and executed for all of this. I'm thinking Comey, Mueller, Strzok, Page, Clinton and especially McCabe, ALL need to die.

  • William, I hope you are wrong about the Mueller probe never ending. This scam should never have began in the first place. It was not constitutionally convened because there was not a crime here. In order to appoint a Special Counsel, there must first be a crime to investigate. Collusion with Russia (which never happened except between Clinton, Mueller, and Comey in the Uranium one deal) is not a crime. Someone must be punished for this government over reach. Come on DOJ Barr, please make someone pay for this over reach. Also, Hillary Clinton was wrongly declared not guilty of having an unauthorized server without a proper investigation because of the collusion between the DOJ, FBI, and Hillary Clinton. We need everyone you mentioned to be properly investigated for their part in this scam.
