Mueller investigation near completion, acting AG Whitaker says
It remains unclear whether the special counsel's finding about Trump and his campaign will be made public.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has almost finished up his nearly two-year investigation into collusion and Russian interference in the 2016 election, the acting attorney general said Monday.

"The investigation is, I think, close to being completed, and I hope that we can get the report from director Mueller as soon we — as possible," acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said during a news conference after announcing criminal charges against one of China's largest telecommunications companies.

"I have been fully briefed on the investigation, and I look forward to director Mueller delivering the report, and I really am not going to talk about an open and ongoing investigation otherwise," he added.

Like hell it will. This investigation clearly is a political farce, why wouldn't the DC establishment run it right up until November 2020?

Nah.  Now that Barr has said he's spoken to Pence on and off about the investigation, Mueller will be sniffing around for a process crime against Pence.

Involuntarily laughed outloud when I read that headline.
This has to close to 100 times I've read a headline about the investigation 'nearing completion'. LOL
Good Grief.
