Claim: Trump insisted that the special counsel was totally conflicted

Q1: Who was the US special council at the time of the claim?
A1: Robert Mueller, in full Robert Swan Mueller III, (born August 7, 1944, New York, New York, U.S.), American law enforcement official who served as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 2001 to 2013. In 2017–19 he was special counsel to a Department of Justice investigation into possible Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election of 2016.

Q2: What are the basis for the claim that Robert Mueller have conflict of interests after being appointed as a special council?
A2: Mueller’s former law firm, WilmerHale, represents Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who met with a Russian bank executive in December, and the president’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, who is a subject of a federal investigation.

Legal experts said the ethics rule can be waived by the Justice Department, which appointed Mueller. He did not represent Kushner or Manafort directly at his former law firm.

Q3: What did the US department of Justice conclude regarding the special council's conflict of interest?
A3: Justice Department ethics officials concluded that it is “appropriate” for recently named special counsel Robert Mueller to move forward with investigating Russia and the 2016 election, despite work by his former law firm that might overlap with his inquiry, a DOJ spokeswoman said Tuesday.

“While we cannot confirm or deny the applicability of the regulation to the matters to which Special Counsel Mueller was appointed, we can confirm that the Department ethics experts have reviewed the matters and determined that Mr. Mueller’s participation in the matters assigned to him is appropriate,” she added.
