The Justice Department spent $1.9 million on employees who were "loaned out" to Mueller's office. 

The Justice Department report also included funds spent on travel, which came to $532,340 of which $14,220 was for direct travel by Mueller's office. The temporary relocation of Justice Department employees came to $518,120.
