US. The special counsel's investigation cost nearly $32 million in total, according to Justice Department accounting records released Friday.
Most of the Mueller office expenditures, nearly $2.5 million, went to compensation and benefits for special counsel prosecutors and staff.
Mueller's team charged 34 people with crimes, including 25 Russian nationals and several Trump associates, including Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos.
A Virginia jury convicted Manafort of financial crimes unrelated to Mueller's initial mandate, which was to investigate whether the Trump campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Prosecutors were unable to establish that the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government to influence the election, Mueller said in a 448-page report released on April 18.
Mueller investigated 10 separate incidents of Trump allegedly attempting to obstruct the Russia probe, but the special counsel's office declined to indict the president.
Mueller said he also did not clear Trump of wrongdoing on the issue of obstruction.
