Just a day earlier Trump pardoned 15 other people, including former Republican congressmen and two others tied to the Russia investigation.

Trump granted full pardons to 15 people, including three former Republican lawmakers, and commuted all or part of the sentences of five others.

A federal judge on Monday demanded more information about U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to commute the prison sentence of longtime ally Roger Stone.

The op-ed in The Washington Post marked Mueller's first public statement on his investigation since his congressional appearance last July.

'An American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president,' Romney said in a tweet early Saturday.

Attorney General William Barr will testify before the House Judiciary Committee for the first time next month, the Justice Department said Wednesday.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said in a 2-1 ruling that the Justice Department's decision to abandon the case against Flynn settles the matter.

The after-action review will examine whether any employees engaged in misconduct during the course of the investigation and evaluate whether any improvements in FBI policies and procedures need to be made.

Trump's vague conspiracy theory paints himself and Michael Flynn as the chief victims, and Barack Obama as a villainous mastermind.

Flynn attempted to withdraw the guilty plea in January, saying federal prosecutors had acted in "bad faith" and broke their end of the bargain when they sought prison time for him.
