Paul Ryan Supports Mueller in Probe of Trump-Russia Ties

Frederica Freyberg:

Daily headlines this week out of Washington on the investigations into the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia. Midweek the Justice Department appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to lead investigations into questions of Trump-Russia ties. The move sparked reaction from Congressional leaders, including Wisconsin Congressman House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Paul Ryan:

I believe that the professionals at the Justice Department need to do their job independently, objectively and thoroughly. And I believe the Special Counsel, which is Robert Mueller now helps them do that.
