The Russia Imbroglio: Mueller At The Door
White House officials are expecting some unusual guests in the short work week before Thanksgiving: investigators from the FBI.
The team headed by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller is set to interview a number of current administration officials, a top White House attorney tells NPR, although the official details are scarce about who specifically is involved.
"I sort of have a blood oath with Mueller that I don't get into that," White House lawyer Ty Cobb told NPR's Tamara Keith.
There have been suggestions, however, that Mueller's team may want to talk with communications director Hope Hicks, senior adviser Jared Kushner and White House counsel Don McGahn and people on his staff.
There have been reports that Mueller's investigators may already have spoken with policy adviser Stephen Miller.
One thing Cobb did say is that he expects the sessions to wrap up by Thanksgiving. And the DOJ Russia probe may wrap up not long after that, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said.
Or not — the only person who knows the answer is Mueller.Briefly:
