WASHINGTON (AP) More than 40 former U.S. attorneys and Republican and conservative officials are pushing back against efforts to discredit the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
In a pair of letters, the groups say Robert Mueller and his team must be allowed to continue their work, unimpeded.
The 22 former U.S. attorneys, who served under presidents from Richard Nixon through Barack Obama, say it is critical to the interests of justice and public trust to ensure that those charged with conducting complex investigations are allowed to do their jobs free from interference or fear of reprisal.
Seeking Muellers removal would have severe repercussions for Americans sense of justice here at home and for our reputation for fairness around the world, they wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump on Friday that was coordinated by Georgetown Laws Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.
