Another high-profile prosecutor has been identified as being part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation team.

Another high-profile prosecutor has been identified as being part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation team, and she comes from the Justice Department’s, or DOJ’s, money laundering unit. 
According to Politico, Kyle Freeny is “the 17th lawyer known to be working with the former FBI chief on the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.” 
The publication adds that before joining the probe, she had been working on the DOJ’s so-called “Wolf of Wall Street” case which claimed the film had been funded with illegally acquired funds. 
A DOJ press release from 2016 announced then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s effort to recover more than $1 billion that had been inappropriately redirected from a Malaysian government fund. 
Freeny was listed as one of the prosecutors in the case as part of the Criminal Division’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section.
News about Freeny’s work with Mueller comes as the Russia investigation continues with some recent updates. 
According to the Washington Post, the probe has expanded to included the son of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.  The two are believed to have traveled together when the senior Flynn met with some foreign government officials.
