Some Trump loyalists, calling Mueller’s team a bunch of “killers” and a group of “the best lawyers in the country,” were reportedly concerned last year that Trump’s lawyers would be overpowered in the legal struggle.

The investigation has already resulted in five Americans being charged, along with one British citizen, 13 Russian citizens, and 3 Russian companies. Three of the Americans and the British citizen have agreed to plead guilty, including former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn. Former Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates is expected to plead guilty Friday.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has assembled a high-powered team of lawyers to look into possible collusion between President Donald J. Trump’s campaign and Russia and anything else that arises along the way.


Trump lawyers Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow are recognizable from media interviews. But Mueller’s vaunted team is far less so.

Mueller has not held a news conference. Federal court hearings are not televised and still photography is not allowed. All the public has seen are courtroom-sketch glimpses of Mueller’s lawyers.

The team has left traces on the Web, however. Here are videos of some of the lawyers involved in the dramatic and historic investigation, who, along with federal agents, are trying to uncover the truth.
