Trump, Mueller both make Time 'Person of the Year' shortlist

President Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller are both finalists for Time’s 2018 "Person of the Year."
Time announced the shortlist of 10 finalists on Monday, and plans to reveal the honoree on Tuesday.
“Every year, TIME selects the most influential person of the year, noting, for better or for worse, the person or group of people who have had the greatest impact on the news and the world over the past 12 months,†the publication said.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Mueller’s investigation as a “witch hunt,†while Mueller has indicted nearly three dozen people and three companies in his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Trump was named Person of the Year in 2016, and claimed the following year that he turned down the honor. Time refuted his claim.
He said earlier this year that he “can’t imagine anybody else†being given the designation.
