House approves watchdog financial oversight of Mueller
By Niv Elis - 06/08/18 11:32 AM EDT
The House on Friday approved a measure to require financial oversight of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The amendment, introduced by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), would require the Government Accountability Office to perform a semi-annual audit of special counsels.
"A special counsel's work is important, but they should not be able to spend taxpayer dollars without accountability. Americans need to know where their money is going," Meadows said.
The amendment passed 207-201, largely along party lines.
