At DC circuit, atty Kyle Freeny, who prosecuted Paul Manafort & worked with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team, has filed her notice of withdrawal. According to SPC ofc, she's headed back to DOJ money laundering section. @AP also confirmed she's leaving SPC end of this month. 
His team will continue to shrink as they wind down the investigation. An end date at this point appears to be mostly unclear but after midterms. Reported today Mueller could be close to finishing his report on key elements of the probe - collusion/obstruction.
This notice, in that sense, is par for the course. Branden Van Grack, who you may remember as a prosecutor from the Manafort trial, left the SPC and has been back at DOJ for a time now. These things said, investigation is still very much active.
Post-midterm November seems really close, but these days are weeks and these weeks are months.
