Special
counsel Robert Mueller is nearing the end of his investigation into Russian
election interference and is expected to submit a confidential report to the attorney
general as early as mid-February, government officials and others familiar
with the situation tell NBC News.
"They
clearly are tying up loose ends," said a lawyer who has been in contact
with the Mueller team. The sources either did not know or would not say
whether Mueller has answered the fundamental question he was hired to
investigate: whether Trump or anyone around him conspired with the Russian
intelligence operations to help his campaign.
