Ty Cobb: Mueller investigation is not a ‘witch hunt’

Ex-White House lawyer Ty Cobb broke with his former boss Monday, saying he doesn’t believe special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation is a “witch hunt.”

“I don’t think it’s a witch hunt,” Cobb told CNN’s Gloria Borger during CNN’s “Citizen Conference.”

Cobb also characterized Mueller as “an American hero in my view” and said that he has respected Mueller for decades.
