Vice President Mike Pence says it’s time for special counsel Robert Mueller to conclude his probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
He says: “In the interests of the country, I think it’s time to wrap it up.” Pence spoke to NBC News following the release of three Americans held by North Korea.
Pence adds: “I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion.”
The vice-president was pressed on the news about millions of dollars in payments from companies to President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. Pence says that’s a “private matter” and “something I don’t have any knowledge about.”
