Jessie Liu, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, believes her team of federal prosecutors is “well-equipped” to take over the unfinished work of special counsel Robert Mueller III's recently concluded investigation.
Liu, who has headed the U.S. attorney's office since September 2017, sits at the helm of a team that has inherited the bulk of the work left from Mueller's inquiry, taking over sensitive and politically fraught cases that have ensnared members of President Donald Trump's orbit and former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig, who is also a former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom partner.
Liu, a former Morrison & Foerster partner, said the national security and fraud prosecutors handling those high-profile matters have “a wealth of experience” under their belts.
