A federal appeals court in Washington on Monday rejected a challenge to special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment that was brought by Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller.
“Because the Special Counsel is an inferior officer, and the Deputy Attorney General became the head of the Department by virtue of becoming the Acting Attorney General as a result of a vacancy created by the disability of the Attorney General through recusal on the matter, we hold that Miller’s challenge to the appointment of the Special Counsel fails,” Judge Judith Rogers wrote in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s unanimous opinion.
