[The Hill] Veteran reporter Carl Bernstein on Sunday said special counsel Robert Mueller's recent indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officials proves his probe is "not a witch hunt.""Indeed, the president’s object has been throughout to make this appear as a witch hunt," Bernstein said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."
"It is now demonstrable to all, for all to see, this is not a witch hunt," Bernstein continued.
Bernstein's comments come two days after Rosenstein announced Mueller's indictment of the Russian officials for conspiring to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Eleven of the defendants are charged with conspiring to hack into networks used by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The other is charged with conspiring to hack into systems used to administer U.S. elections.
