Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb heaped praise on Robert Mueller in a new interview, describing the special counsel as an “American hero.”
Cobb, who left the White House last year, made the glowing statements amid reports Mueller’s report could soon be released.
“I think Bob Mueller's an American hero … even though he came from an, arguably, privileged background, he has a backbone of steel,” he told ABC News’ “The Investigation” podcast.
“He walked into a firefight in Vietnam to pull out one of his injured colleagues and was appropriately honored for that.
“I've known him for 30 years as a prosecutor and a friend. And I think the world of Bob Mueller. He is a very deliberate guy. But he's also a class act. And a very justice-oriented person.”
Cobb continued: “I can’t be critical. I never had a bad interaction with Mueller or his staff.”
