Rep. Neal Decries Efforts To Discredit Special Counsel Mueller

Congressman Richard Neal (D-MA)

Western Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal says that there’s a public relations campaign being waged against Special Counsel Robert Mueller. 

Neal, a Democrat from the first House district, tells WAMC he believes Mueller’s work must remain separate from partisan attacks.

“I think there’s an effort that’s being made in a concerted manner to diminish the reputation of the prosecutor, and I don’t think that would be wise," Neal told WAMC. "I think we should let Bob Mueller finish his work.”

Mueller is the former FBI director who is heading up the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018 after working at stations including WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Berkshire County, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production.
