More than any other member of Mueller's team, Andrew Weissmann has been a target of President Donald Trump's outrage and singled out for criticism as an aggressive prosecutor. Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement Thursday that Weissmann would be concluding his work with the team ``in the near future.'' He did not give a date. Weissmann, who worked as an FBI general counsel under Mueller, most recently, led the Justice Department's fraud section. He achieved prominence for his work as a prosecutor while investigating the mob in New York City and the Enron scandal. NPR first reported Weissmann's expected departure.
