FBI looking into bid to smear Russia probe chief Mueller
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe FBI is investigating an alleged scheme to pay women to smear Russia collusion probe head Robert Mueller with sexual harassment allegations, Mueller’s office says.
The scheme was uncovered after one woman who said she worked for Mueller decades ago told several journalists she had been offered $20,000 to accuse him of sexual misconduct.
“When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” Mueller’s spokesman Peter Carr says.
