Mueller III, Aaron Zebley, James Quarles and Andrew Goldstein, as well as former President Donald Trump’s efforts to obstruct the special counsel’s investigation.

In 2017, Mueller, the former FBI director, was asked by the Justice Department to serve as special counsel. Mueller was tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible ties to the Trump campaign.

The investigation – the only federal criminal probe into Trump during his term – was also led by Mueller’s deputy Zebley, Mueller’s senior counsel Quarles and Goldstein, one of Mueller’s lead prosecutors. In 2019, a 448-page redacted version of the team’s findings was released.
