One of the more well-known members of Mueller's team is expected to leave the office and Justice Department soon
It's another possible sign that Robert Mueller's work is coming to a close.Andrew Weissmann, one of the earliest members of Mueller's squad and the lead prosecutor bringing the case against President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, will soon leave the Justice Department, where he spent most of his career, to teach at New York University. He previously taught courses on criminal procedure and national security at NYU School of Law.
