In this bonus material from a special episode of Stay Tuned, “Scenes from the Mueller Probe,” Anne Milgram talks to Andrew Weissmann, former lead prosecutor in the Mueller investigation, about his time reforming FBI’s forensics lab, that time he prosecuted Vincent Gigante, the boss of the Genovese crime family, and a death penalty case he defended early in his career as a young lawyer.
