Robert Mueller’s staff has increased by one more individual. Greg Andres has joined Mueller’s team to become his 16th Lawyer. The team consists of Prosecutors and Lawyers.
Mueller has been appointed a Special Counsel since May. From then till now he has been gathering information.
After months of investigation Mueller and his team have assigned a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury has already started to work over the past few weeks.
This report was made by the Washington Post, confirmation is yet to come.
The inquiry is about Trump interference in the 2016 US elections. It is alleged that he and Russia meddled in the election.
Trump has denied this from the very beginning, so has Moscow who claimed no interference.
Grand Jury
The use of the Grand Jury allows Mueller to order subpoenas. Any person he sees as a credible witness can be forced to testify. A Grand Jury gives him what is necessary to get evidence.
The Grand Jury comprises ordinary citizens. They are responsible for looking at evidence and any sort of crime. Unseen to the public eye, they carry out their investigation.
They can then decide based on evidence if a person or persons should be charged.
Sarah Huckabee commented on a statement she said Comey made. She made it clear that Comey said Trump wasn’t under investigation.
