Raskin also said the packets included conspiracies about the origins of the Mueller investigation. The origin is unclear but some of the folders appear to be from the Trump hotel. He described the documents as “amateurish.”
Raskin called the information an “irrelevant distraction” and questioned whether it was actually “urgent,” as the IG initially told congressional aides yesterday.
