Washington, November 1 (RHC)-- In the U.S., special counsel Robert Mueller has referred allegations of a plot to mount false accusations of sexual misconduct against him to the FBI.
Several women reportedly were approached to make accusations of sexual harassment against Mueller in exchange for money. The allegations, which many media outlets are now calling a hoax, possibly involving false identities, appear to stem from a scheme by social media personality and fervent Trump supporter Jacob Wohl and conservative conspiracy theorist Jack Burkman.
Robert Mueller is expected to deliver key findings stemming from his probe investigating possible meddling in the 2016 elections, soon after the November midterms.
