Congressman Lamborn released the following statement after the announcement of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel:

"I am pleased that the Trump Administration has appointed an honorable, respected, and capable man like former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel. A Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War, Director Mueller also led the FBI through the aftermath of the 9/11 attack, an event that occurred only one week into his tenure. He was so respected during his time as FBI Director that President Obama asked Congress to allow Mr. Mueller to stay in office for an additional two years beyond the normal 10-year term limit. I know that Director Mueller will work hard to find the full and complete truth surrounding the allegations of Russian involvement in the 2016 election."
