After whose recusal did Rosenstein appoint Robert Mueller as special counsel?

  • Jeff Sessions

  • Hillary Clinton

  • Eric Holder

  • James Comey

Answer

Jeff Sessions, Then-Attorney General, recused himself from the Russia investigation due to his own involvement with the Trump campaign. As a result, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, as special counsel to oversee the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and any related matters. Mueller's appointment ensured the independence and impartiality of the investigation.
