An organization that was part of President Donald Trump's transition team claimed Saturday that special counsel Robert Mueller III improperly obtained a trove of transition emails as part of the inquiry into Russian influence in the 2016 election and other matters.
The batch of emails totaling thousands of pages of communications was improperly provided to Mueller by the federal General Services Administration, the organization claimed in a letter delivered to congressional investigators.
"This morning we sent a letter to Congress concerning the unauthorized sharing of private and transition emails with the Mueller team," lawyer Kory Langhofer said in an interview.
