VP Pence: Special Counsel Mueller Should ‘Wrap It Up’ on Probe

Said investigation should end “in the interest of the country.”

Vice President Mike Pence said he would like to see special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation “wrap it up,” in a Thursday morning interview with NBC’s Today show. “What I think is that it’s been about a year since this investigation began. Our administration has provided over a million documents, we’ve fully cooperated in it, and I think in the interest of the country, it’s time to wrap it up,” Pence told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “And I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion.” This comes after Rudy Giuliani, the newest member of Trump’s legal team, said that the team would like the potential sit-down interview between President Trump and Mueller to happen sometime after the U.S.-North Korea summit this summer.
