CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas, on January 6, 2017, the Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence released a report concluding that 
‘‘Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence 
campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election’’, 
that the goal of this campaign was ‘‘to undermine public 
faith in the US democratic process’’ , and that ‘‘Putin
•HCON 24 EH 
and the Russian Government developed a clear preference 
for President-elect Trump’’; 
Whereas, on March 20, 2017, the Director of the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) testified that he was au-
thorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that 
the FBI is investigating whether ‘‘there was any coordi-
nation’’ between individuals associated with the Trump 
presidential campaign and the Russian Government; 
Whereas part 600 of title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, 
as in effect on March 7, 2019 (in this resolution referred 
to as ‘‘Special Counsel Regulations’’), provides for the 
appointment of a Special Counsel when the Attorney 
General or Acting Attorney General ‘‘determines that 
criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted 
and—(a) That investigation * * * by a United States At-
torney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department 
of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the De-
partment or other extraordinary circumstances; and (b) 
That under the circumstances, it would be in the public 
interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume 
responsibility for the matter’’; 
Whereas the Special Counsel Regulations call for any indi-
vidual named as Special Counsel to be a ‘‘lawyer with a 
reputation for integrity and impartial decision making 
and with appropriate experience to ensure that both the 
investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and 
thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial deci-
sions will be supported by an informed understanding of 
the criminal law and Department of Justice policies’’; 
Whereas, on May 17, 2017, the Acting Attorney General ap-
pointed former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III to 
serve as Special Counsel ‘‘to ensure a full and thorough
