And I really I'm not gonna talk about open and ongoing investigation, otherwise. But sort of the statements that I made were as a private citizen Only with publicly available information. And I am comfortable that the decisions that were made are going to be reviewed either through the various means we have. But right now the only investigation is I think close to being completed, and I hope that we can get the report from Director Mueller as soon as possible. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Mueller Investigation 'Close to Being Completed,' Says Acting Attorney General","description":"Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker says the special counsel’s Russia investigation is “close to being completed.”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/rseWbRb2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-01-28T23:14:38.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/rseWbRb2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/rseWbRb2/","duration":"PT42S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/rseWbRb2/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
