Trump questions whether Mueller, DOJ ‘leaking’ letters to ‘Fake News Media’ in ‘Witch Hunt Hoax’
….. Taxpayers have spent nearly $17 million on the Russia probe since it began in May 2017, according to the new spending report released Thursday.
Approximately $10 million was spent between October 2017 and March 2018. That includes $4.5 million spent by Mueller’s team and another $5.5 million spent by the Justice Department on other expenditures attributable to the investigation.
“The department will continue to dedicate and leverage resources to maintain strong program and financial management controls,” the DOJ said in the report. “Management takes its program and financial accountability seriously and is dedicated to ensuring that funds are used in a responsible and transparent manner.”
