Mueller probe filings raise prospect of more indictments

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s references to “uncharged individuals†in recent court filings that aim to restrict certain evidence are being read by some as an indication more people could be indicted in his sprawling investigation.
Despite rampant speculation that Mueller is close to finalizing his report, the language used in court documents over the past few months offers clues that suggest his probe might ensnare more individuals.
The latest example came last week, when Mueller said sensitive files in the case involving a Russian troll farm identified “uncharged individuals†suspected of engaging in operations “that interfere with lawful U.S. government functions.†Mueller’s filing sought to keep the evidence restricted from defendants in Russia.
He has also referenced “uncharged individuals†and “ongoing investigations†in the case involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
