Fox News host Sean Hannity questioned when Hillary Clinton would be indicted after it was reported Friday that the first charges of the investigation led by special counsel Robert Muller had been approved by a federal grand jury.
“When will @HillaryClinton be indicted?” Hannity tweeted Friday night.

Mueller is leading the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign had any ties to the Kremlin. A federal judge ordered the charges to remain sealed and sources told CNN that the plan is to have anyone charged be taken into custody as soon as Monday.
Hannity, a staunch supporter of President Trump, then accused Mueller of working in conjunction with the media and mentioned the “Uranium One” scandal, which is being investigated by the House Intelligence Committee and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee over the Obama administration’s approval of the 2010 sale of a Canadian mining company to Rosatom, a Russian nuclear power company.
“Guess;Mueller and Media working hand in hand,” he said in a separate tweet. “Media to be tipped off. Mueller was FBI Director Who knew of Russian crimes before Uranium one.”

Mueller served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013.
A report from the Hill last week revealed that the FBI has evidence dating as far back as 2009 that nuclear industry officials from Russia had been involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering that benefited Russian President Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy project expansion with the U.S.
The report also verified that Russians sent millions of dollars to a Clinton charitable foundation from 2009 to 2013 while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.
Hannity also called this, along with the latest revelations on the so-called “Trump dossier,” a “distraction.
“Left needs a dramatic change in the narrative!! Uranium One, Fusion GPS dossier, all out this week. This is a distraction! TICK TOCK….,” Hannity tweeted.

Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, funded former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who then wrote the dossier.
The Washington Examiner reported Friday evening that the conservative news outlet Washington Free Beacon was the original funder of Fusion GPS’s anti-Trump opposition research project before the Democrats came on board.
