Trump's Acting AG Matthew Whitaker, who has criticized the Mueller probe, will now oversee it

President Donald Trump's acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, will oversee special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, NBC News reported Wednesday.
The report followed Trump's announcement in a tweet that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be replaced by Whitaker, who was Sessions' chief of staff at the Justice Department.
Whitaker argued in an August op-ed for CNN that Mueller's investigation is "dangerously close to crossing" the so-called red line not to look into the Trump family's finances.
