"Special counsel Robert Mueller is bolstering his team of U.S. investigators probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, adding a top Justice Department official who’s been overseeing corporate fraud and foreign-bribery investigations, as well as a former law-firm colleague, according to people familiar with the matter.

Justice Department fraud chief Andrew Weissmann is the most senior government lawyer to join Mueller, the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director who became special counsel on May 17, said two people, who asked not to be named discussing a personnel matter that hasn’t been made public.

Mueller also recently brought on Jeannie Rhee, according to two people. Rhee, a partner in the investigations practice at his former law firm, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP, previously worked in a Justice Department office that gives legal advice to the White House.
Weissmann and Rhee join a growing team that includes Peter Carr, a veteran spokesman for the Justice Department who will deal with the news media, and two former Wilmer partners, Aaron Zebley and James Quarles.

As the head of the fraud section in the Obama administration, Weissmann’s specialties have included overseeing investigations into corporate wrongdoing and foreign corruption -- including probes into Volkswagen AG over diesel-cheating, global banks over market manipulation and Brazil’s state-owned oil company Petrobras over corrupt payments. He also started a pilot program that offered companies incentives to self-report possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribing foreign officials." Bloomberg
