Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is spearheading the federal Russia probe, has called for a data firm that worked for President Trump’s campaign to provide his team with documents, according to a new report.
Mueller asked Cambridge Analytica in the fall to surrender emails from any of its employees who worked for the Trump campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The request, to which the firm complied, had not been reported previously.
