Prominent Democratic lawyer Greg Craig close to being charged in case stemming from Mueller probe
By Erica Orden and Evan Perez, CNN

(CNN) - Federal prosecutors are close to bringing charges against Greg Craig, a prominent Democratic lawyer and former White House counsel in the Obama administration, in a case that originated with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to people familiar with the matter.
The possible charges are connected to false statements Craig allegedly gave to investigators who were looking at the work he performed for Ukraine.
Though Mueller's investigation has ended, a number of inquiries that were referred out by his office live on in other prosecutors' offices, and Craig's is among the earliest and most unusual.
A review of the case against Craig, much of it previously unreported, demonstrates the tumultuous path of the investigation of one of the country's most prominent attorneys, a matter that has gone on for so long and changed hands so many times that the statute of limitations for the initial matter for which he was investigated -- failure to register as a foreign agent -- has expired.
