Robert S. Mueller III left a $3.4 million partner job in the white-shoe law firm WilmerHale, where he worked for clients such as Facebook, Apple, Sony and the NFL, to serve as the special counsel overseeing the law enforcement investigation into whether the Kremlin and the Trump campaign coordinated to impact the 2016 election, according to documents released Tuesday. Mueller’s public financial disclosure — along with those of seven members of his team — was released after a request from The Washington Post. The document offers a glimpse into whom the special counsel and the lawyers he has hired have worked for and where they have made and invested their money. They are likely to be closely scrutinized by allies of President Trump, who has criticized Mueller and his team as having conflicts of interest. The documents show that several lawyers on the team, particularly those who came from the private sector, left behind substantial salaries to work on the Russia case. James L. Quarles III, who left WilmerHale with Mueller, drew more than $5.8 million from his partnership there. Jeannie Rhee, another partner, drew more than $2 million, and Aaron Zebley, who was Mueller’s chief of staff at the FBI and also worked with him at WilmerHale, drew more than $1.4 million. It is unclear precisely how much each is getting paid to work on the Russia investigation — the special counsel’s office has declined to make its budget proposal public — though it is probably a far cry from their private-sector work.
