Politico: “Former special counsel Robert Mueller will take part in a University of Virginia law school class covering his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential ties to the Trump campaign, the school announced Wednesday. Mueller, who graduated from the school in 1973, will lead ‘at least one class’ of the course, which is being taught by three former senior Mueller team members, including deputy special counsel Aaron Zebley, according to a release from the school. The ‘short’ class, called ‘The Mueller Report and the Role of the Special Counsel,’ will be taught in person this fall. ‘I was fortunate to attend UVA Law School after the Marine Corps, and I’m fortunate to be returning there now,’ Mueller said in the release.”
“‘I look forward to engaging with the students this fall.’ The class is set to begin with the investigation’s origin, and will go on to discuss Roger Stone’s prosecution, obstruction of justice and how a special counsel factors into holding a president accountable, among other things. According to the school’s release, Mueller aims to have top prosecutors from the investigation visit the class as guest speakers. Mueller was notoriously tight-lipped about the investigation, even after it concluded. Outside of congressional testimony in 2019, Mueller was silent publicly on the investigation until July 2020, when he wrote a Washington Post op-ed defending the investigation. The Justice Department named Mueller as special counsel in 2017. According to Mueller’s report, Trump did not respond kindly to his appointment.”
