Conservatives ramp up attacks on Mueller

The House Intelligence Committee is seeking answers from the special counsel about the circumstances surrounding Strzok’s reassignment from high-profile investigator on the special counsel to the FBI’s human resources department.

Meanwhile, the conservative group Judicial Watch is suing to obtain Strzok’s text messages.

A day earlier, the group released hundreds of pages of emails it obtained through a FOIA request and touted an email exchange between special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann and then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates.
