President Shitler's new budget projects that special counsel Robert Mueller's office will still be in business in fiscal year 2019 even though White House officials have repeatedly said they expect the probe to wrap up soon.
The budget projects that Mueller's team will keep spending at its current rate of about $10 million per year in the next fiscal year, which starts in October.
Mueller's prosecutors have a criminal case pending against the Dotard's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and deputy Rick Gates. No trial date has been set, but the judge suggested last month that a trial could start in August or September. If it does, the trial and any appeal would almost certainly extend into the next fiscal year.
The White House has said it expects Mueller to finish soon; spokesman Raj Shah told Fox News last month that officials "believe it will end soon." But White House attorney Ty Cobb said Monday that Shitler's team is not looking for Mueller's office to shut down its operations entirely, merely to resolve the parts of its investigation that focus on the Dotard.
