DC Circuit Rules Mueller Appointment Was Lawful (Stone pal Miller -vs - Mr. Mueller & Co.)




WASHINGTON (CN) – The D.C. Circuit on Tuesday affirmed the constitutionality of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment and upheld a contempt order for a former assistant of longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone.

“Special Counsel Mueller was properly appointed by a head of a Department, who at the time was the Acting Attorney General,” the 16-page opinion states.

The unanimous ruling marks a big win for Mueller, whose authority has been under constant challenge since he brought the first indictments in connection with his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Andrew Miller, a former Stone aide, brought the challenge after the district court held him in contempt in August for refusing to appear before the grand jury as part of Mueller’s probe.
