Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into whether former national security adviser and Trump campaign aide Michael Flynn played any role in an effort to get Hillary Clinton’s emails from Russian hackers, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Mueller, who was appointed by the Justice Department to probe Russian efforts to meddle in last year’s election, is also beginning to subpoena witnesses for grand jury testimony, according to NBC News.
Then-candidate Donald Trump publicly asked for Moscow to release any of Clinton’s emails it had during the 2016 campaign.
