U.S. Republicans seek special counsel's removal from Russia probe
11-3-17 Reuters Staff
Representatives Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Louis
Gohmert accused Mueller of a conflict of interest because he was
director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation when former President
Barack Obama’s administration approved an agreement allowing a Russian
company to buy a Canadian company that owned 20 percent of U.S. uranium
supplies.
President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans have been
calling for an investigation into the Uranium One deal, amid news of
Mueller’s first indictments of Trump associates as the special counsel
investigates allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.
Moscow denies any effort to influence the election, and Trump has dismissed the investigation as a “witch hunt.”
