Former Mueller prosecutor writing book on investigation

 A top prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller has a book coming out this fall about two-year investigation into alleged ties between Russia and 2016 campaign of President Donald Trump.

“I felt it was necessary to record this episode in our history, as seen and experienced by an insider,” he said in a statement. “This is story of our investigation into how our democracy was attacked by Russia and how those who condoned and igred that assault undermined our ability to uncover truth. My obligation as a prosecutor was to follow facts where y led, using all available tools and undeterred by onslaught of president’s unique powers to undermine our work.

"I am deeply proud of work we did and of unprecedented number of people we indicted and convicted — and in record speed. But hard truth is that we made mistakes. We could have done more. ‘Where Law Ends’ documents choices we made, good and bad, for all to see and judge and learn from.”

Weissmann, who worked as an FBI general counsel under Mueller, gained prominence as a prosecutor investigating organized crime in New York City and for his leadership of a task force looking into Enron scandal. He has a reputation for being aggressive and experienced, and skilled in developing cooperating witnesses.
