Special Counsel Robert's Mueller's investigation of Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election now includes inquiries into a controversial, unverified opposition research dossier on President Trump compiled by a former British intelligence officer, according to a Reuters report.
Reuters reported Wednesday that Mueller's team of investigators has assumed control of multiple inquiries into allegations that the Kremlin sought to interfere in the election to sway it in President Trump's favor.
