Former acting solicitor general: If Mueller investigation is a witch hunt, he's 'found a coven'

Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said Sunday that if Robert Mueller's investigation is a "witch hunt," the special counsel has "found a coven at this point."

Katyal during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" pointed to Mueller's indictments of dozens of individuals, including several of President Trump's former associates, such as former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, the president's former personal attorney.

"So if this is a witch hunt, Mueller's found a coven at this point," he added.

Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Trump has long railed against the investigation, labeling it a politically motivated "witch hunt."
