Harris has also continually advocated for efforts to protect Mueller’s investigation.
She said shortly after she launched her White House bid in January that her “highest priority” was to protect Mueller and his ability to finish his investigation.
Trump has repeatedly derided Mueller’s investigation, often referring to it as a “witch hunt.”
