“What is Bob Mueller doing?” Corey Lewandowski asked Wednesday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” program, referring to the special counsel who is leading the Department of Justice probe. Paul Manafort, who became Trump’s campaign manager after Lewandowski was fired in June 2016, is also facing a separate criminal probe as part of Mueller’s investigation. Manafort was forced to resign from the Trump campaign in August amid questions about his past business dealings in Ukraine. Lewandowski is the latest close ally of Trump to attack the special counsel investigation. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized Mueller by referring to him as the “anti-Trump special counsel” in a tweet earlier this month.
