Trump Officials 'Doing Russia's Bidding' to Get Richer Against US National Interests
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff vowed on Sunday to continue the investigation into President Trump's finances and foreign connections for as long as it takes.
Speaking during an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” the California Democrat said he found it “remarkable” that Trump was seeking a business deal with Russia and that he wanted to make sure that the president was “working in the national interest.”
“We are looking to see if the president is working in the national interest,” Schiff said. “That he is not motivated by some pecuniary interest or fear of compromise or actual compromise.” TRUMP CALLS SCHIFF 'POLITICAL HACK' AS DEMS OPEN NEW RUSSIA PROBE, SEND TRANSCRIPTS TO MUELLER
Schiff last week hired former National Security Council staffers to work for him as he launches a sweeping new investigation into Trump – a move that appears to have drawn particular ire from the president.
Trump tweeted Thursday that Schiff and Democrats were going "nuts" with investigations and wrote, without elaborating, that they were "even stealing people from the White House!"
It's unclear exactly who Trump was talking about, but the tweet comes as Schiff appears to have hired at least one staff member who served on the National Security Council under Trump. The staff member, Abigail Grace, is listed in a House directory as working for Schiff on the intelligence panel. A person familiar with the committee's staff confirms that she is working for the panel and used to work for the NSC. HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE POSTPONES MICHAEL COHEN TESTIMONY TO FEB. 28
Grace worked for a bipartisan think tank, Center for a New American Security, after working for both former President Barack Obama and Trump on the National Security Council from 2016 to 2018. She focused on Asia-Pacific security issues, according to a spokesman for the group.
Schiff wouldn't confirm the hires in an interview Thursday, but hinted at them while snapping back at Trump.
"We have a long tradition of hiring out of the intelligence community, out of the National Security Council, and if the president is worried about our hiring any former administration people maybe he should work on being a better employer," Schiff said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
A committee aide said that none of Schiff's staff have come directly from the White House, but said the panel has hired people with prior experience on the National Security Council staff.
"We do not discriminate against potential hires on the basis of their prior work experience, including the administration," the aide said. The person also declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly about confidential committee business. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Before the start of business, Just Securityprovides a curated summary of up-to-the-minute developments at home and abroad. Here’s today’s news. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND BORDER WALL Negotiations over a bipartisan deal for border-security funding have stalled, according to aides familiar with the talks and other officials, raising the possibility of another government shutdown at the end of this week. The difficulty in reaching a settlement has heightened prospects that President Trump will declare a national emergency and seek to divert funds into constructing a wall along the Southern border, Stephen Collinson reports at CNN. Trump’s interim chief of staff Mick Mulvaney yesterday said the possibility of a second government shutdown could not be ruled out. “Is a shutdown entirely off the table? … the answer is ‘no,’” Mulvaney said on NBC, adding that a presidential emergency declaration to build the border wall is “absolutely on the table,” Kate Davidson and Kristina Peterson report at the Wall Street Journal. The President is holding a rally in El Paso tonight that is likely to focus on his demands for more border security.Yesterday, he referred to the border wall disagreement in a series of messages sent on Twitter, stating: “I don’t think the Dems on the Border Committee are being allowed by their leaders to make a deal … they are offering very little money for the desperately needed Border Wall & now, out of the blue, want a cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention!” Erica Warner, Damian Paletta and Seugn min Kim report at the Washington Post. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California is expected to withdraw nearly 400 of his state’s National Guard troops today from deployment along the border with Mexico and assign them to other duties, according his aides. The step represents a “sharp rebuke” of Trump’s continued warnings that undocumented migrants present a national security risk to the U.S., and follows a similar move by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico last week, Jose A. Del Real reports at the New York Times. The Pentagon cannot afford to have money diverted for a border wall, Mackenzie Eaglen and Rick Berger comment at the Wall Street Journal, arguing “a bipartisan compromise could stave off this misuse of executive authority, protect the military and create more leverage and space for negotiators to finish their work.” “If Trump declares an emergency to build the wall … Congress can block him,” Tamara Keith comments at NPR in an analysis focusing on the 2005 Joint Resolution On National Emergency. TRUMP-RUSSIA Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) lambasted acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker for his behavior during an antagonistic House Judiciary Committee hearing Friday. “Mr attorney general, we are not joking here … and your humor is not acceptable,” Jackson Lee stated, with the “tense” exchange sparked as Whitaker was asked a series of yes-or-no questions about his role at the Justice Department and oversight of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian electoral interference and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign. Morgan Chalfant reports at the Hill. Whitaker shocked committee members after he told Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) that his time for questioning had run out. Former senior F.B.I. official Chuck Rosenberg described Whitaker’s testimony as “disgraceful,” commenting “I’ve testified many times in Congress … sometimes the questions are good and thoughtful, sometimes they’re compound and incomprehensible, but you have to answer every one with a degree of civility and dignity, and that was sorely lacking,” Tal Axelrod reports at the Hill. Mueller reportedly continues to pursue a theory that people in Trump’s orbit were discussing deals to end a dispute over Russia’s incursions into Ukraine – and possibly give Moscow relief from economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies – during the same period that Moscow was taking steps to bolster Trump’s candidacy. The theory was offered by lead prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, during a discussion of contacts between former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and longtime Russian associate Konstantin Kilimnik, alleged to have links to the Russian intelligence, Sharon LaFraniere, Kenneth P. Vogel and Scott Shane report at the New York Times. SYRIA U.S.-backed Kurdish-led fighters in Syria claim they are meeting fierce resistance in the last enclave held by Islamic State group (I.S.I.S.) militants near the Iraqi border, with a battle yesterday inside the village of Baghouz continuing for hours while coalition air strikes and artillery fire pounded I.S.I.S. positions. On Saturday, after a pause of more than a week to allow around 20,000 civilians to leave the area, Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) spokesperson Mustafa Bali said the U.S.-backed group was launching the “final battle to crush [I.S.I.S.,]” the BBC reports. “The clashes are ferocious naturally because the terrorist group is defending its last stronghold,” Bali said. S.D.F. forces claim they captured 41 positions held by I.S.I.S. and destroyed fortifications in the push to seize the group’s last enclave in eastern Syria over the weekend, Al Jazeera reports. Top U.S. commander in the Middle East Gen. Joseph Votel has stated that the U.S. military is pulling equipment out of Syria in preparation for a troop withdrawal, temporarily moving additional security and logistics forces into Syria to prepare for the eventual withdrawal of the more than 2,000 U.S. troops fighting in the country. Votel told reporters yesterday: “I think we are right on track where we wanted to be…we are less focused on a specific timeline than we are doing this in a very effective manner,” Gordon Lubold reports at the Wall Street Journal. U.S.-led airstrikes continue. U.S. and coalition forces carried out 645 airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria between Jan. 13 and Jan. 26. [Central Command] AFGHANISTAN Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan today to meet with U.S. commanders and Afghan leaders amid the push for peace with the Taliban militant group. Shanahan said he has no orders to reduce the U.S. troop presence, despite the fact that officials say that that is at the top of the Taliban’s list of demands in exploratory peace negotiations, the AP reports. “It would be better for Afghanistan if we could get a peace agreement before the election,” U.S. envoy for Afghanistan negotiations Zalmay Khalilzad said Friday at the U.S. Institute for Peace, in his first public address since his appointment to the envoy position. Khalizad added: “if there is no progress on the peace track, elections will take place, and we are doing what we can to support the preparations for credible elections,” Rebecca Kheel reports at the Hill. JAMAL KHASHOGGI KILLING President Trump refused to provide Congress a report Friday determining who killed Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, defying a demand by lawmakers keen on establishing whether the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman was behind the killing. Trump effectively bypassed a legal deadline as his administration argued that Congress could not impose its will on the president; “consistent with the previous administration’s position and the constitutional separation of powers, the president maintains his discretion to decline to act on congressional committee requests when appropriate,” the Trump administration responded in a statement, Peter Baker and Eric Schmidtt report at the New York Times. Saudi Arabia does not need a U.N.-led probe or an international investigation into Khashoggi’s murder due to its “competent legal system,” Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Abdel al-Jubeir toldFace the Nation yesterday. Dismissing the findings of U.N. Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard, al-Jubeir claimed that “the crown prince had nothing to do with this .. there was no order given to murder Jamal Khashoggi and the whole country is shocked by this … it was a mistake … it was committed by officials of the Saudi government acting outside their scope of authority … the king ordered an investigation,” Al Jazeera reports. “All who rue Mr. Khashoggi’s fate should demand that Saudi Arabia cease the repression of those Saudis in whose name he spoke out,” the New York Times editorial board comments. The KOREAN PENINSULA President Trump will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un once again this month in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, the White House said Friday. “My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un,” Trump wrote in a message posted on Twitter, adding “it will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 & 28 … I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace!” Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker report at the New York Times. U.S. and South Korean officials signed a short-term agreement yesterday to increase the South’s contribution toward the upkeep of the 28,500 U.S. troops on the Peninsula, after a previous deal lapsed with President Trump calling for the South to pay more. The new deal must still be approved by South Korea’s parliament, but it would boost Seoul’s contribution to 1.03 trillion won from 960 billion won in 2018. Reuters reports. OTHER DEVELOPMENTS The U.S. has warned of the growing influence of Chinese tech giant Huawei in central and eastern Europe as it launches a diplomatic effort to curb Beijing’s ambitions in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is due to visit Hungary, Slovakia and Poland this week, in a indication of Washington’s fears over inroads made by Beijing through business deals and infrastructure investment, Aime Williams, James Shotter, Monika Pronczuk and Michael Peel report at the Financial Times.

WASHINGTON — Of the few hints to emerge from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, about evidence of possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, one of the most tantalizing surfaced almost in passing in a Washington courtroom last week.
Comments by one of Mr. Mueller’s lead prosecutors, disclosed in a transcript of a closed-door hearing, suggest that the special counsel continues to pursue at least one theory: that starting while Russia was taking steps to bolster Mr. Trump’s candidacy, people in his orbit were discussing deals to end a dispute over Russia’s incursions into Ukraine and possibly give Moscow relief from economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies.
The theory was offered almost as an aside by the prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, during a discussion of contacts between Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and a longtime Russian associate, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, whom investigators have linked to Russian intelligence.
A closer look at the transcript, released late Thursday, shows that the prosecutors have been keenly focused on discussions the two men had about a plan to end the conflict that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea in 2014. Persuading the United States to ease or end the American-led sanctions imposed to punish Moscow for its aggression has been a primary goal of Russian foreign policy.
According to the transcript, which was heavily redacted, Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kilimnik repeatedly communicated about a so-called peace plan for Ukraine starting in early August 2016, while Mr. Manafort was still running Mr. Trump’s campaign, and continuing into 2018, months after Mr. Manafort had been charged by the special counsel’s office with a litany of crimes related to his work in the country. The prosecutors claim that Mr. Manafort misled them about those talks and other interactions with Mr. Kilimnik.
Pressed by the judge at Monday’s hearing to say why Mr. Manafort’s alleged lies mattered, Mr. Weissmann gave a broad hint about the thrust of the investigation.
“This goes to the larger view of what we think is going on, and what we think is the motive here,” Mr. Weissmann said. “This goes, I think, very much to the heart of what the special counsel’s office is investigating.”
Mr. Weissmann did not elaborate. The hearing’s purpose was narrow — determining whether Mr. Manafort had breached his plea agreement by misleading the prosecutors about Mr. Kilimnik and other matters. Mr. Kilimnik was charged last June with conspiring with Mr. Manafort to obstruct justice by trying to shape the accounts of prospective witnesses in Mr. Manafort’s case.
Yet Mr. Weissmann’s cryptic comments suggest that the special counsel’s investigation — which Mr. Trump has sought to dismiss as a witch hunt and which the acting attorney general, Matthew G. Whitaker, has said will wrap up soon — is still pursuing the central question of whether there was some kind of deal between Russia and the Trump campaign.
To date, prosecutions by the special counsel have skirted that question. They have laid out Russia’s hacking, leaking and social media manipulation, most of it in favor of Mr. Trump. They have charged multiple Trump aides with lying, including the president’s first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, who admitted misleading the F.B.I. about his discussions with the Russian ambassador about sanctions.
Mr. Trump’s longtime friend Roger J. Stone Jr. was indicted last month on charges of lying to Congress about his efforts to contact WikiLeaks, which released tens of thousands of Democratic emails stolen by the Russians.
But the essential question of why the Kremlin bet so heavily on Mr. Trump, and whether President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had any indication that Mr. Trump would give him what he desired, has remained unresolved.
Senator Richard M. Burr of North Carolina, a Republican who is the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CBS News on Thursday that, based on the evidence they have seen so far, the committee’s investigators “don’t have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia.”
But Mr. Weissmann’s remarks seem to suggest that for the special counsel, at least, that avenue of inquiry is still alive.
The sanctions have inflicted substantial pain on the Russian economy. As a candidate and a new president, Mr. Trump seemed skeptical that such punishment was necessary or effective.
“Trump’s unusual sympathy and receptivity to Putin and the Kremlin was evident throughout the campaign” and the first few months of his presidency, said John E. Herbst, a former United States ambassador to Ukraine. That pattern, he said, fueled the notion that Mr. Trump might seek a “grand bargain” that would end sanctions, possibly on terms deeply unfavorable to Ukraine.
The sanctions also limited business opportunities with Russia. Mr. Trump had long sought a marquee Trump Tower project in Moscow, and at least two aides were pursuing separate nuclear power projects that would have benefited from an end to the sanctions.
As Mr. Trump took office, some State Department officials described worrying inquiries that suggested the White House might be preparing to precipitously drop the sanctions. And various intermediaries floated proposals they said would end the sporadic combat in eastern Ukraine between Russian-funded separatist fighters and Ukrainian forces trying to hold back the loss of more territory.
Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s longtime fixer, told The New York Times that he left a sealed envelope containing one such plan on Mr. Flynn’s White House desk.
Mr. Kilimnik, meanwhile, was trying to use his extensive ties to Mr. Manafort to advance another. It envisioned the return of Viktor F. Yanukovych, a pro-Russia politician who had risen to the presidency of Ukraine in 2010 with the help of Mr. Manafort, who was paid tens of millions of dollars for his efforts.
Mr. Yanukovych was forced from office by a popular uprising in 2014 and fled to Russia. Mr. Kilimnik wanted to resurrect him as a semiautonomous leader in eastern Ukraine, a division of the country fiercely opposed by most Ukrainians.
In a February 2017 interview with The Times, Mr. Kilimnik described Mr. Manafort as a possible negotiator for the deal. He said that Mr. Manafort had told him that “there is only one enemy — the chaos.”
“If there is a serious project that can bring peace to Ukraine, Manafort will be back,” Mr. Kilimnik said at the time.
The first discussion between Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kilimnik cited by the prosecutors took place on Aug. 2, 2016, at the Grand Havana Room in Manhattan, and also included Rick Gates, Mr. Manafort’s deputy on the Trump campaign and during his Ukraine work. Mr. Weissmann noted that Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates tried to avoid drawing attention at that meeting, leaving separately from Mr. Kilimnik.
“That meeting and what happened at that meeting is of significance to the special counsel,” Mr. Weissmann said at the hearing.
Mr. Manafort initially told prosecutors he had dismissed Mr. Kilimnik’s proposal out of hand, Mr. Weissmann said. In fact, according to the transcript, Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kilimnik talked about the proposal again in December 2016; in January 2017, when Mr. Kilimnik was in Washington for Mr. Trump’s inauguration; and again in Madrid the next month.
Mr. Weissmann noted that those talks went forward despite the “enormous amount of attention” in the United States at the time to contacts between Russians and Trump associates.
Mr. Manafort’s lawyer, Richard Westling, suggested the discussions were not all that memorable to Mr. Manafort because he had minimal interest in advancing Mr. Kilimnik’s plan. Although the two men revisited the proposal after Mr. Trump’s election, he said, “there is no real follow through.”
Mr. Westling said it was not the only such plan afloat — nor was it the only one proposed by Mr. Kilimnik, who has denied having ties to Russian intelligence. Kevin Downing, another lawyer for Mr. Manafort, argued that suspicions about Mr. Kilimnik’s communications were “nonsense” because “the sanctions were going to continue against Russia” whether or not Mr. Trump was elected.
What Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kilimnik discussed about the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not all that concerned prosecutors. Another issue is a directive from Mr. Manafort to Mr. Gates to turn over Trump campaign polling data to Mr. Kilimnik in the midst of the presidential race.
The transcript suggests that Mr. Manafort claims that he wanted only public data transferred. But Mr. Weissmann told the judge that the question of whether any American, wittingly or unwittingly, engaged with Russians who were interfering in the election relates to “the core” of the special counsel’s inquiry.
Mr. Manafort’s allies argue that prosecutors have not proved that Mr. Kilimnik was linked to Russian intelligence, and have suggested that he interacted with the United States Embassy in Kiev. They noted that he traveled freely to the United States and had communications with the State Department.
But Judge Amy Berman Jackson seemed to agree with prosecutors that whether Mr. Manafort lied about his contacts with Mr. Kilimnik was important, saying at one point, “I am, actually, particularly concerned about this particular alleged false statement.”
During the hearing, prosecutors suggested that Mr. Manafort was to be a spokesman in the United States, apparently for Mr. Kilimnik’s plan to divide Ukraine.
“If he were the spokesperson, and denominated as such within the United States,” Mr. Weissmann said, “he would also have access to senior people.” He then broke off, saying, “That’s as far as I can go.”
Tracking the milestones in Robert Mueller's investigation can be tough, but if you've got three minutes, we've got a wrap-up of Michael Cohen for you. Hannah Gaber Saletan, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Occasionally, his signature appears on court documents. But on the most consequential days of the nearly two-year investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, the man leading it – Robert Mueller – has been conspicuously absent.
When President Donald Trump's senior aides and confidants paraded through federal courtrooms to face criminal charges his office had filed, the former FBI director was nowhere to be seen. When some of them came back to court to be convicted, he said nothing.
It's possible he never will.
Mueller's investigation has cast a shadow over nearly all of the first two years of Trump's presidency. Prosecutors working to determine whether Trump's campaign coordinated with Russian efforts to sway the election that put him in office have brought charges against some of his top aides and revealed extensive Moscow ties. As the inquiry grinds closer to its conclusion, there are signs that the public might never learn the full extent of what Mueller has – or hasn't – found.

Justice Department rules require that Mueller submit a confidential report when his work is done. William Barr, the man likely to be confirmed as his next boss, cast doubt on whether he would permit that document to be revealed. Those who know him say Mueller, reluctant to speak publicly even when the circumstances seem to require it, is unlikely to do it on his own.
"A public narrative has built an expectation that the special counsel will explain his conclusions, but I think that expectation may be seriously misplaced," said John Pistole, Mueller's longtime top deputy at the FBI. "That's not what the rules provide, and I really don't see him straying from the mission. That's not who he is."
The Justice Department's special counsel rules don't call for Mueller to make any public statements about his work, let alone deliver a report of what he has found. Instead, his confidential report must explain why he filed the charges he did and why he might have declined to bring charges against others. It would be up to the attorney general to decide whether that becomes public.
Barr, who is likely to be confirmed this month as attorney general, told lawmakers he couldn't commit to releasing Mueller's report in full. Neither was he clear on whether he would permit Mueller to testify to Congress about his work. He said he wanted to be transparent about Mueller's findings but offered few details.
"Where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and department policy and will let no personal, political or other improper interests influence my decision," Barr said during his confirmation hearing in January.
Some lawmakers found the answer unsettling.
After Barr's testimony, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., introduced legislation that would require a special counsel to provide a report directly to Congress in addition to the attorney general.
People who know Mueller say that unless his bosses tried to derail his work, they would be surprised if the former FBI director did more than issue a brief statement indicating that a report had been submitted to the attorney general before quietly departing.
For any other major player in official Washington, where outsize egos routinely clash for political supremacy or simple adulation, such a scenario would be unthinkable. But Mueller's aversion to the spotlight has been consistent across a lifetime in public service, from the battlefields of Vietnam to the office that represents perhaps the most serious threat to the Trump presidency.
"I don't think that there is any chance that he strays from what the regulations say," said Chris Swecker, a former FBI assistant director who worked closely with Mueller. "So far, he has spoken through the indictments and other court documents his office has filed. You have to understand who he is. He will do what the law prescribes; he's not going to be running his own pass patterns.
“None of this has ever been about his ego,” Swecker said. “He relishes the work as much as he hates the fanfare. It’s never been about him; it’s always been about the work.”

Just as the FBI, maligned in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, was transformed into his own image as a meticulous investigator, the Russia investigation has come to embody Mueller’s unflagging, buttoned-up personality.
“He’s not a warm and lovable guy,” Swecker said. “If you work for him, you are never going to feel appreciated. Things move too fast for that. He believes that you signed up to do a job. And it’s your mission to get it done. He doesn’t like drama.”
Mueller’s team embraced that approach.
His prosecutors have brought charges against 34 people and three companies, including Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort; his first national security adviser, Mike Flynn; and his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Outside of court filings, prosecutors have had nothing to say about any of them.
When the team won a jury verdict after a three-week trial against Manafort, prosecutors retreated to their offices rather than appear at a clutch of microphones outside the courthouse. Asked by email if they had any comment, Mueller's spokesman responded with a single word:
“Nope."
Pistole, who served for six years as Mueller’s deputy at the FBI, describes his former boss as “totally apolitical,” with an unmatched work ethic.
“For him, it was about what is right for the country,” Pistole said. “Nothing else.”
'Most transformative director since Hoover'
Mueller exited the FBI in 2013 as the longest-serving director since J. Edgar Hoover – amassing a legacy best defined by a grind-it-out style that kept the FBI intact.
Michael Chertoff, a former secretary of Homeland Security, described Mueller in an interview with USA TODAY marking the FBI chief's departure as “the most transformative director in the history of the FBI since Hoover.''
"And I mean that in a good way," Chertoff said.

After the FBI, Mueller stayed on the public stage but seldom in the spotlight.
As a partner at the high-powered law firm of Wilmer Hale, Mueller had clients that included some of the most recognizable corporate brands, including the National Football League.
The NFL hired Mueller in 2015 to examine the league's handling of a domestic violence incident involving then-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. When it was complete, the 96-page report, which cleared the NFL of any intentional improper conduct, was simply posted online. No news conference, no public appearance by Mueller to discuss the findings.
Mueller was among those Trump interviewed to replace his ousted successor at the FBI, James Comey. Instead, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller in May 2017 to head the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Since then, the public has had only occasional glimpses of Mueller. One photo captured him waiting for a plane at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a few yards away from Donald Trump Jr. The photograph went viral, a measure not only of the chance passing of the two potential adversaries but the intense interest in the intensely private man leading perhaps the most widely watched criminal investigation in a generation.
It was months before Mueller's appointment as a Russia special counsel when Pistole last had an extended visit with his former boss. Pistole said he was surprised to encounter a "jovial" Mueller, a feature few have witnessed in such an outwardly serious character.
"He had been away from government for a while," Pistole said. "He was laughing and joking. I thought: ‘Who is this guy? What have you done with my director?’ I doubt he's had many moments since he took this job."
The case for saying nothing
Barr suggested that if the Senate confirms him, the public is unlikely to hear from Mueller directly.
Barr, who was attorney general in the administration of George H.W. Bush, has made no secret of his allegiance to the chain of command. In the midst of the 2016 campaign, he objected to then-FBI Director Comey's decision not to recommend criminal charges against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state because he said the decision should have been left to the attorney general or the deputy attorney general, not the chief investigator.
Barr told lawmakers he would "provide as much transparency as I can, consistent with the law," about what Mueller's investigation concludes.
He expressed doubt about how much detail he would be able to reveal. Justice Department rules require only that he notify Congress about instances in which he had overruled Mueller's decisions about how the investigation should be handled. Some of the facts Mueller has gathered could be the result of grand jury proceedings, which are required by law to remain secret.
Barr pointed to a Justice Department policy to avoid publicizing "derogatory" information about people who aren't charged with a crime. Senate Democrats expressed concern that the policy, combined with the department's view that a president cannot be indicted, could lead Barr to keep confidential parts of the investigation that relate to Trump.
That could in turn set up a battle with congressional Democrats eager to know the details.
“If the attorney general doesn’t issue a public report, they can expect it to be subpoenaed by Congress because of the high public value of Americans understanding just what the Russians did and who worked with them,” said Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump's lead attorney, has said repeatedly that he fully expects Mueller to produce a final report, indicating that the president's legal team would issue a "counter-report."
Last month, acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker raised expectations when he said Mueller's work was "close to being completed."
"I hope we can get the report from Director Mueller as soon as possible," Whitaker said, only to suggest last week in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that even he wasn't really sure of the timing and hadn't received a report.
“Bob Mueller is going to finish his investigation when he is going to finish his investigation,” Whitaker told lawmakers.
Some doubt that a substantial final report from the special counsel is even in the offing.
"He's a federal prosecutor; they don't write public reports," said George Washington University law professor Randall Eliason, a former federal prosecutor. "Everybody is breathlessly waiting for the Mueller report, and I'm not sure that one is even coming."

Before the start of business, Just Securityprovides a curated summary of up-to-the-minute developments at home and abroad. Here’s today’s news. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND BORDER WALL Negotiations over a bipartisan deal for border-security funding have stalled, according to aides familiar with the talks and other officials, raising the possibility of another government shutdown at the end of this week. The difficulty in reaching a settlement has heightened prospects that President Trump will declare a national emergency and seek to divert funds into constructing a wall along the Southern border, Stephen Collinson reports at CNN. Trump’s interim chief of staff Mick Mulvaney yesterday said the possibility of a second government shutdown could not be ruled out. “Is a shutdown entirely off the table? … the answer is ‘no,’” Mulvaney said on NBC, adding that a presidential emergency declaration to build the border wall is “absolutely on the table,” Kate Davidson and Kristina Peterson report at the Wall Street Journal. The President is holding a rally in El Paso tonight that is likely to focus on his demands for more border security.Yesterday, he referred to the border wall disagreement in a series of messages sent on Twitter, stating: “I don’t think the Dems on the Border Committee are being allowed by their leaders to make a deal … they are offering very little money for the desperately needed Border Wall & now, out of the blue, want a cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention!” Erica Warner, Damian Paletta and Seugn min Kim report at the Washington Post. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California is expected to withdraw nearly 400 of his state’s National Guard troops today from deployment along the border with Mexico and assign them to other duties, according his aides. The step represents a “sharp rebuke” of Trump’s continued warnings that undocumented migrants present a national security risk to the U.S., and follows a similar move by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico last week, Jose A. Del Real reports at the New York Times. The Pentagon cannot afford to have money diverted for a border wall, Mackenzie Eaglen and Rick Berger comment at the Wall Street Journal, arguing “a bipartisan compromise could stave off this misuse of executive authority, protect the military and create more leverage and space for negotiators to finish their work.” “If Trump declares an emergency to build the wall … Congress can block him,” Tamara Keith comments at NPR in an analysis focusing on the 2005 Joint Resolution On National Emergency. TRUMP-RUSSIA Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) lambasted acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker for his behavior during an antagonistic House Judiciary Committee hearing Friday. “Mr attorney general, we are not joking here … and your humor is not acceptable,” Jackson Lee stated, with the “tense” exchange sparked as Whitaker was asked a series of yes-or-no questions about his role at the Justice Department and oversight of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian electoral interference and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign. Morgan Chalfant reports at the Hill. Whitaker shocked committee members after he told Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) that his time for questioning had run out. Former senior F.B.I. official Chuck Rosenberg described Whitaker’s testimony as “disgraceful,” commenting “I’ve testified many times in Congress … sometimes the questions are good and thoughtful, sometimes they’re compound and incomprehensible, but you have to answer every one with a degree of civility and dignity, and that was sorely lacking,” Tal Axelrod reports at the Hill. Mueller reportedly continues to pursue a theory that people in Trump’s orbit were discussing deals to end a dispute over Russia’s incursions into Ukraine – and possibly give Moscow relief from economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies – during the same period that Moscow was taking steps to bolster Trump’s candidacy. The theory was offered by lead prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, during a discussion of contacts between former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and longtime Russian associate Konstantin Kilimnik, alleged to have links to the Russian intelligence, Sharon LaFraniere, Kenneth P. Vogel and Scott Shane report at the New York Times. SYRIA U.S.-backed Kurdish-led fighters in Syria claim they are meeting fierce resistance in the last enclave held by Islamic State group (I.S.I.S.) militants near the Iraqi border, with a battle yesterday inside the village of Baghouz continuing for hours while coalition air strikes and artillery fire pounded I.S.I.S. positions. On Saturday, after a pause of more than a week to allow around 20,000 civilians to leave the area, Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) spokesperson Mustafa Bali said the U.S.-backed group was launching the “final battle to crush [I.S.I.S.,]” the BBC reports. “The clashes are ferocious naturally because the terrorist group is defending its last stronghold,” Bali said. S.D.F. forces claim they captured 41 positions held by I.S.I.S. and destroyed fortifications in the push to seize the group’s last enclave in eastern Syria over the weekend, Al Jazeera reports. Top U.S. commander in the Middle East Gen. Joseph Votel has stated that the U.S. military is pulling equipment out of Syria in preparation for a troop withdrawal, temporarily moving additional security and logistics forces into Syria to prepare for the eventual withdrawal of the more than 2,000 U.S. troops fighting in the country. Votel told reporters yesterday: “I think we are right on track where we wanted to be…we are less focused on a specific timeline than we are doing this in a very effective manner,” Gordon Lubold reports at the Wall Street Journal. U.S.-led airstrikes continue. U.S. and coalition forces carried out 645 airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria between Jan. 13 and Jan. 26. [Central Command] AFGHANISTAN Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan today to meet with U.S. commanders and Afghan leaders amid the push for peace with the Taliban militant group. Shanahan said he has no orders to reduce the U.S. troop presence, despite the fact that officials say that that is at the top of the Taliban’s list of demands in exploratory peace negotiations, the AP reports. “It would be better for Afghanistan if we could get a peace agreement before the election,” U.S. envoy for Afghanistan negotiations Zalmay Khalilzad said Friday at the U.S. Institute for Peace, in his first public address since his appointment to the envoy position. Khalizad added: “if there is no progress on the peace track, elections will take place, and we are doing what we can to support the preparations for credible elections,” Rebecca Kheel reports at the Hill. JAMAL KHASHOGGI KILLING President Trump refused to provide Congress a report Friday determining who killed Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, defying a demand by lawmakers keen on establishing whether the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman was behind the killing. Trump effectively bypassed a legal deadline as his administration argued that Congress could not impose its will on the president; “consistent with the previous administration’s position and the constitutional separation of powers, the president maintains his discretion to decline to act on congressional committee requests when appropriate,” the Trump administration responded in a statement, Peter Baker and Eric Schmidtt report at the New York Times. Saudi Arabia does not need a U.N.-led probe or an international investigation into Khashoggi’s murder due to its “competent legal system,” Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Abdel al-Jubeir toldFace the Nation yesterday. Dismissing the findings of U.N. Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard, al-Jubeir claimed that “the crown prince had nothing to do with this .. there was no order given to murder Jamal Khashoggi and the whole country is shocked by this … it was a mistake … it was committed by officials of the Saudi government acting outside their scope of authority … the king ordered an investigation,” Al Jazeera reports. “All who rue Mr. Khashoggi’s fate should demand that Saudi Arabia cease the repression of those Saudis in whose name he spoke out,” the New York Times editorial board comments. The KOREAN PENINSULA President Trump will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un once again this month in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, the White House said Friday. “My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un,” Trump wrote in a message posted on Twitter, adding “it will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 & 28 … I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace!” Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker report at the New York Times. U.S. and South Korean officials signed a short-term agreement yesterday to increase the South’s contribution toward the upkeep of the 28,500 U.S. troops on the Peninsula, after a previous deal lapsed with President Trump calling for the South to pay more. The new deal must still be approved by South Korea’s parliament, but it would boost Seoul’s contribution to 1.03 trillion won from 960 billion won in 2018. Reuters reports. OTHER DEVELOPMENTS The U.S. has warned of the growing influence of Chinese tech giant Huawei in central and eastern Europe as it launches a diplomatic effort to curb Beijing’s ambitions in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is due to visit Hungary, Slovakia and Poland this week, in a indication of Washington’s fears over inroads made by Beijing through business deals and infrastructure investment, Aime Williams, James Shotter, Monika Pronczuk and Michael Peel report at the Financial Times. Iran-backed Lebanese militant Hezbollah group “has a long and sordid history in Venezuela,” Colin P. Clarke writes at Foreign Policy, doubting that regime change would rid the country of the group’s influence. Why is Guantánamo Bay prison shopping for a new three-cell handicapped-accessible compound? Carol Rosenberg explains the prison’s “multiple contingencies” at the Miami Herald. The F.B.I.’s International Human Rights Unit – which leads on investigating individuals within the U.S. who have been accused of committing international crimes – may be shut down imminently. Executive Editor Beth Van Schaack explains the significance of the potential closure at Just Security.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The suspect in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges Monday as his new lawyer, a prominent death penalty litigator who represented one of the Boston Marathon bombers, signaled he might be open to a plea deal.
Robert Bowers, a truck driver who authorities say gunned down 11 people at Tree of Life Synagogue, appeared in federal court with attorney Judy Clarke, who expressed hope the case will be resolved without a trial.
Clarke is known for negotiating plea deals that helped some of the nation's most infamous killers avoid death row, including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner, who killed six people and injured 13 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A jury sentenced marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whom Clarke represented, to death.
A spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh has said a decision about whether to pursue the death penalty against Bowers remains under review. Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti said in court Monday that if Bowers does opt for a trial, it could last about three weeks, not including any potential penalty phase.

Bowers, who was shackled, said little, giving yes or no answers.
A grand jury on Jan. 29 added 19 counts to the 44 Bowers was already facing. The additional charges include hate crimes violations, obstruction of religious belief and the use of a firearm during crimes of violence.
Bowers, 46, of Baldwin, Pennsylvania, is accused of targeting worshippers from three Jewish congregations when he attacked Saturday, Oct. 27, during Sabbath services.
Seven people were wounded, including five police officers.
Donna Coufal, a member of the Dor Hadash congregation that occupies space at Tree of Life, said she attended Monday's arraignment "to bear witness. It's been a painful time, but we remain strong as a community."
Investigators say Bowers posted criticism of a Jewish charity on social media before the attack, claiming the immigrant aid society "likes to bring invaders that kill our people." Authorities said he raged against Jews as he gunned down his victims, and told investigators "all these Jews need to die."
Bowers has been jailed in the Butler County Prison, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) north of the shooting scene.
