WASHINGTON — Acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker said Monday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation is “close to being completed.”
“I have been fully briefed on the investigation,” Whitaker, who has authority over Mueller’s probe, said during a news conference. “I look forward to Director Mueller delivering the final report.”
Whitaker also said: “I am comfortable that the decisions that were made are going to be reviewed,” but it wasn’t immediately clear what he meant by that.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, declined to comment.
Senator Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, said Whitaker’s statement that decisions made in the investigation would be reviewed is “chilling,” adding he doesn’t have confidence that Whitaker will respect the independence of Mueller’s probe.
