President Trump Questions Why Special Counsel Never Charged Tony Podesta

The brother of Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman John Podesta is thrown back into the political spotlight amid new scrutiny over allegations of foreign lobbying.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, President Trump questioned why Special Counsel Robert Mueller has not filed charges against Tony Podesta.

This comes after Podesta stepped down as chairman of his lobbying firm Podesta Group last year, following the special counsel’s indictment of Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

The firm was reportedly enlisted by Manafort as one of the groups lobbying on behalf of a Brussels-based organization that functioned as a mouth piece for Ukraine’s former President Viktor Yanukovych.

While Mueller did investigate the claims, no charges were ever filed.
