Kyle Freeny is the textbook definition of a career DoJ lawyer: B.A. and law degree from Harvard, Court of Appeals clerk for a year, and a DoJ trial attorney ever since. From 2007 to 2015, Freeny worked on civil cases, but moved to the criminal division to prosecute money laundering and asset recovery cases in 2016. Before moving to Mueller’s team, she helped to prosecute a case involving government corruption in Malaysia, in which the DoJ seized more than $1.7 billion Malaysian officials had reportedly attempted to launder in the United States. Freeny has made small political donations to the past three Democratic presidential candidates.
