Washington (CNN)
A
federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first
charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller,
according to sources briefed on the matter.
The
charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were
prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as
Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.
A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.
Mueller was appointed in May to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Under
the regulations governing special counsel investigations, Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has oversight over the Russia
investigation, would have been made aware of any charges before they
were taken before the grand jury for approval, according to people
familiar with the matter.
