[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 208363, member: 30779"] To clarify > In 2021, a Paul Weiss partner and former leading prosecutor in the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller brought a pro bono suit against individuals alleged to have participated in the events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, on behalf of the District of Columbia Attorney General. This refers to Jeannie Rhee. She was a part of the Russian 2016 election interference investigation, and joined PW subsequently, in 2019.
