The conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election concluded Friday with the news that a final report has been delivered to the Attorney General, but the probe’s formal end leaves questions about several ongoing legal proceedings, including the prosecution of Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Donald Trump.
The mysterious company, while zealously guarding its identity from public disclosure, had fought Mueller from the district court all the way to the Supreme Court, which was poised to decide whether to hear the case on Friday. Miller had also repeatedly dragged his case from the district court to the federal court of appeals in Washington, DC and back, losing every time. As of late Friday night, the Supreme Court still had not issued its decision on whether to hear the mystery company’s appeal.
In addition, two former federal prosecutors agreed that the Justice Department would likely be loathe to see recalcitrant witnesses come away with such an easy victory. Peter Carr, a spokesman for the special counsel’s office, declined to comment on what would happen next with the contested subpoenas.
Roger Stone’s prosecution for lying in Congressional testimony and intimidating other witnesses will go forward even though the investigation that charged him has come to a close. Stone will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., whose prosecutors who have been attached to the case since its initiation, Carr confirmed by email Friday evening.
