Special Counsel Mueller Asks FBI to Look Into Scheme to Discredit Him

HeadlineOct 31, 2018

Back in the United States, special counsel Robert Mueller has referred allegations of a plot to mount false accusations of sexual misconduct against him to the FBI. Several women reportedly were approached to make accusations of sexual harassment against Mueller in exchange for money. The allegations, which many media outlets are now calling a hoax, possibly involving false identities, appear to stem from a scheme by social media personality and fervent Trump supporter Jacob Wohl and conservative conspiracy theorist Jack Burkman. Mueller is expected to deliver key findings in his probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections, soon after the November midterm elections.
