WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued the following statement on the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel:
“My priority has been to ensure thorough and independent investigations are allowed to follow the facts wherever they may lead. That is what we’ve been doing here in the House. The addition of Robert Mueller as special counsel is consistent with this goal, and I welcome his role at the Department of Justice. The important ongoing bipartisan investigation in the House will also continue.”
