Special Counsel Robert Mueller has had his share of problems recently, but now one appears to have reached the level of a conflict of interest, according to a Monday, May 14, investigative report by The Hill’s John Solomon.
Mueller was appointed on May 17, 2017, to investigate the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump.
