Robert Mueller’s federal grand jury is continuing its work “robustly” even though the special counsel completed his probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and submitted his report last Friday, assistant U.S. Attorney David Goodhand said Wednesday during a court hearing.
Goodhand made the revelation during a court hearing over whether court filings in the Mueller probe should be unsealed related to a foreign-owned company that has been held in contempt for avoiding a grand jury subpoena issued by Mueller.
Last year, a federal court in Washington ordered the corporation to pay a $50,000 daily fine until it complied with the subpoena. The company has argued the subpoena to be "unreasonable and oppressive" and has claimed immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Mueller handed off his cases following the conclusion of his probe, including one against Roger Stone and Russian troll farm Concord Management.
"I worked with the prosecutor [Goodhand] in this matter,” said Gene Rossi, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Virginia. “He uses his words very carefully. The use of 'robustly' is not bluster or gratuitous. That word strongly suggests that the handoffs from Robert Mueller's office are alive and kicking, and that the Washington U.S. Attorney's office could be another troubling front for the president and the White House."
