NEW: Robert Mueller has receded from the headlines since overseeing the Russia investigation, but his proteges are positioned to steer DOJ through the Biden administration as it seeks to shed the political turmoil of the Trump era. by @cryanbarber ($) businessinsider.com/robert-mueller…
The Senate is expected to confirm Lisa Monaco on Tuesday to be deputy attorney general. She served as Mueller's top aide during his tenure leading the FBI.
Monaco's confirmation would reunite her with another onetime Mueller aide, John Carlin, who has served since the beginning of the Biden administration as the acting deputy attorney general.
In recent weeks, former Mueller aide Matt Olsen, a former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has emerged as a leading contender for the nomination to helm the DOJ's national security division, according to 2 people familiar with the Biden administration's search.
So far only one member of Mueller's special counsel office, Elizabeth Prelogar, has made the jump into the Biden administration.
