Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent more than $732K on outside contractors, including private investigators and researchers, records show, but his office refuses to say who they were.
While it’s not unusual for special government offices to outsource for services such as computer support, Mueller also hired contractors to compile “investigative reports” and other “information.”
The arrangement has led congressional investigators, government watchdog groups and others to speculate that the private investigators and researchers who worked for the special counsel’s office might have included Steele and Fusion GPS.
They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in Mueller’s operation, and even had a hand in his final report, because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017.
Also, Mueller’s lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media.
