Despite the Conflict Of Interest, Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker Will Oversee The Mueller Probe

  • 5 years ago
According to Business Insider, A senior DOJ ethics official reportedly advised Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia probe, but did not offer a formal recommendation.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Whitaker's own hand-picked team of advisers, the identities of whom are still unknown, gave him the all-clear.
Whitaker's impartiality in overseeing the Mueller probe has been questioned over his long track record of disparaging the probe multiple times in the media before joining the DOJ.
