Konstantin Kilimnik is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent.
But Mueller must charge the rest of the bad actors who also failed to file.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has referred another piece of his investigation to New York federal prosecutors, asking them to take over a collection of cases concerning whether several high-profile American lobbyists and operatives failed to register their work as foreign agents, according to people familiar with the cases.
Lobbying firm shuttered, but Tony Podesta’s fate in Mueller probe still a mystery
Lobbyist Anthony “Tony” Podesta filed his final papers with the Department of Justice earlier this month chronicling the last work performed by the once-powerful lobbying firm that bore his name but which is now defunct following its entanglement in special counsel Robert Mueller’s wide-ranging Russia investigation.
The Podesta Group’s 28-page closing foreign-agent registration filing - made three months late due to a "computer error,” a spokesman said – marks the firm’s termination of work for foreign clients including Iraq, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia, and suggests an end to Podesta’s 31-year run at the intersection of politics and influence in Washington.
It offers few clues, however, to his fate in the Mueller probe.
The special counsel demanded copies of records and correspondence from the firm, and federal investigators have interviewed half a dozen former employees in what several sources described to ABC News as long, grueling sessions. Many have been hit with exorbitant legal fees that Podesta was expected to pay. Three former associates told ABC News he has yet to do so.
