“Mueller and his team have to provide a confidential report to Rosenstein at the end of the investigation,” the source said. “As far as timing, the investigation is obviously ongoing, and I’d expect it to continue well after the midterms.”
Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation, on Wednesday called the probe “appropriate and independent,” in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, but declined to comment on when it would end.
President Donald Trump has continued to complain that the investigation is unfounded and a waste of taxpayer money, but one of the complicating factors surrounding its completion date is the fact that his legal team is still working on providing written answers to Mueller’s questions. Additionally, his team has not reached a final agreement on whether the President will sit down for an interview about possible obstruction of justice related to his firing of FBI Director James Comey.
