Obama White House counsel Greg Craig was found not guilty Wednesday of misleading Justice Department investigators.
The verdict came after less than a day of jury deliberations in the trial spun off from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
The 74-year-old, who worked in President Barack Obama’s administration during his first term and also helped President Bill Clinton during his impeachment proceedings, was the highest-profile Democrat to face charges stemming from Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and any connections with the Trump campaign.
The trial lasted more than two weeks and included a day and a half of testimony from the high-powered Democratic lawyer himself, but the jury began deliberations just on Wednesday morning and delivered its verdict acquitting him in the early afternoon.
