Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia election meddling probe has cost more than $25 million since it began in the spring of 2017, a new government report shows.
The Department of Justice report released Friday shows that Mueller's office spent about $4.6 million from April through September, a period that included former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's August conviction on eight of 18 counts of bank fraud in Virginia. Then, in September, Manafort pleaded guilty to money laundering and unregistered foreign lobbying in a District of Columbia case. His sentencing for the two felonies is tentatively scheduled for March 5.
