Joe Biden's campaign canceled a fundraiser that it had scheduled with a top lawyer from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Andrew Weissmann, a former Department of Justice lawyer who had the second-most senior position in the Mueller team, was scheduled to host a "fireside chat" for a June 2 event benefiting the former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. But according to the Wall Street Journal, the event was canceled shortly after it was planned.
After the planned event was revealed last week, President Trump's campaign went on the attack, arguing that this was further evidence that the investigation was politically motivated.
Its no surprise that a guy who tried to take down the president through the sham impeachment would also help Joe Bidens campaign," Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign's communications director, told the Washington Examiner. "It doesnt get any swampier than this: trying to stage a partisan coup against the president and then raising money for his political opponent."
The Biden campaign has not publicly commented on the fundraiser's cancellation.
Weissmann was known as Mueller's " pit bull" during the Russia investigation. After leaving the DOJ, he became a legal analyst for MSNBC.

Guten tag, Herr Biden.
May not be such good optics after Grenell releases details of Weissmans involvement in the Mueller-Russia scam.
Dang, maybe they heard Barr wanted to arrest him during the fundraiser!
My man Mark - WEISMAN!!!!!
Wow, Biden got one right. I can’t remember the last time that happened.
A fireside chat? In the middle of June?
Im sure MSDNC will hire Wissman back.
Biden didn’t get anything right. He doesn’t even know what day of the week it is. One of his “advisors” got it right.
Both @ ~ $0.49.
Not a gambler but I bet $100 on Dubya and made ~$400 - some LV site.
Bet $100 and I have ~198 “shares” on PDJT. What happens if PDJT wins? When Hillary had a 95% chance to win was PDJT @ 10 cents?
Just curious.
Too late!
Well, maybe in New Zealand
Peter Strozk might be available.
I think the cancellation is more to do with Rosenstein’s June 3rd testimony. Real bad optics there.
Who is the fool running Biden’s campaign? What another blunter!!
So, Biden’s record remains intact.
Does this mean Weissmann will keep his sinecure with MSNBC...?
