“We didn’t expect much of it, and neither did he,” one person familiar with the matter told the Post. “And as time went on, a lot of people just forgot about it.”
People familiar with the situation told the Post that Huber’s work was largely done by the time former special counsel Robert Mueller

Those people also told the newspaper that Huber would get involved only if other cases were not being handled.
When Matthew G. Whittaker became acting attorney general after Trump ousted Sessions in November 2018, Whittaker reportedly tried to push Huber to be more aggressive in his work, according to the Post. Huber, however, felt he had looked at all he could and there was not much more to do, sources said.
A representative for Huber referred the Post to the Justice Department, which declined to comment for the Post’s story.
An official for the Justice Department was not immediately available for comment when contacted by The Hill.
