Rosenstein says Mueller probe is 'appropriate and independent'
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday defended special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation as "appropriate and independent" as President Trump continues to attack the probe as a "witch hunt."
“I committed I would ensure the investigation was appropriate and independent and reached the right result, whatever it may be,” Rosenstein said. “I believe I have been faithful to that.”
“People are entitled to be frustrated, I can accept that,” Rosenstein told the Journal. “But at the end of the day, the public will have confidence that the cases we brought were warranted by the evidence and that it was an appropriate use of resources.”
“I have a solemn responsibility to make sure that cases like that are pursued and prosecuted, and I’m pleased the president has been supportive of that,” he added.
The deputy attorney general rarely sits down for interviews, even as the president has publicly attacked him and his role in Mueller's investigation. He would not say when the probe is likely to be completed, the Journal reported.
