Jeff Sessions’s ouster from the Justice Department won’t change the course of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to Donald Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow.

Sekulow, speaking Thursday on his radio show, said there will be “no effect day-to-day” on Mueller with Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, Sessions’s former chief of staff, in charge. Whitaker has taken responsibility for supervising Mueller’s probe even though he has written critically about the special counsel’s work and publicly criticized it.
