Sessions Says Mueller Probe Has a ‘Life of Its Own’

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended his decision not to appoint a second special prosecutor to investigate Republicans’ concerns about the FBI by noting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe had already taken on “a life of its own,” Reuters reports.

Said Sessions: “I do not think we need to willy-nilly appoint special counsels. As we can see, it can really take on a life of its own.”
