John Oliver on reported indictment: ‘Please let it be Jared’

John Oliver is rooting for White House adviser Jared Kushner to be indicted in the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election interference.

“I know right now all anyone can think about is the reported indictments coming from Robert Mueller,” Oliver said on “Last Week Tonight.”

“Please let it be Jared, please let it be Jared, please let it be Jared,” he said, referring to President Trump’s son-in-law.

{mosads}An indictment in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election will reportedly be handed down Monday.

CNN reported Friday night that a federal grand jury had approved the first charges in Mueller’s probe. The network reported that the charges are sealed under a federal judge’s order.

The reports of charges being filed mark a significant milestone in Mueller’s investigation into alleged ties between Trump campaign associates and Russian officials.

Last week, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the White House believes Mueller’s probe is “getting closer to conclusion.”

“I have not spoken with anybody at the Department of Justice on that front, but I think that we are seeing that it is getting closer to conclusion,” Sanders said.
