Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating a Trump campaign adviser's frequent appearances on RT, the television network funded by the Russian government, The Guardian reports.
Ted Malloch is an American academic based in London. Right-wing author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, himself a target of the Mueller probe, told The Guardian Malloch is his friend and told him all about the questioning. "They thought maybe he was coordinating with Russia — and RT is Russia," Corsi said.
