NEW YORK - One of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top prosecutors will soon leave his post, a spokesman said on Thursday, confirming a move likely to add fuel to speculation that the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election is nearing an end.
News of his departure, first reported by National Public Radio, came a day after Manafort was sentenced by a federal judge in Washington, bringing his total punishment to 7-1/2 years in prison from two criminal cases brought by Mueller’s team. Manafort was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a litany of financial and other crimes.
Unless Weissmann is leaving for unspecified personal reasons, his departure signals Mueller has likely completed all of the inquiry’s major investigative steps, although there could still be additional indictments, said Barbara McQuade, a former senior federal prosecutor in Michigan.
