Former special counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday he believes a controversial news report published before the 2016 election that alleged secret contacts between email servers for the Trump Organization and a Russian bank is inaccurate.
The story in question, which was published by Slate, has been a source of much debate since it was published on Oct. 31, 2016.

Michael Sussmann, the lawyer, also shared information with The New York Times and the FBI’s general counsel.
