Robert Mueller will teach a course at the University of Virginia’s law school intended to take students inside his investigation that concluded Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump, the university announced Wednesday.
The course, called “The Mueller Report and the Role of the Special Counsel,” will be taught by Mueller alongside three former federal prosecutors: James Quarles, Andrew Goldstein and Aaron Zebley, who was Mueller’s deputy. Mueller recruited the three men to work on the investigation, which spanned two years of the Trump administration.
The final class is expected to focus on obstruction of justice and the role of special counsels in presidential accountability. The Mueller report detailed actions by Trump that many legal experts said were sufficient to ask a grand jury to indict him on charges of obstruction of justice, but Attorney General William Barr cleared him of obstruction soon after the report was completed.
Last summer, Mueller wrote an opinion essay for The Washington Post the day after Trump commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend Roger Stone, a political operative. In the essay, Mueller defended the prosecution of Stone for federal crimes as part of the Russia inquiry.“We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law,” Mueller wrote.
