Mueller scope memo used claims from Steele dossier and Logan Act

A newly declassified memo on the scope of Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation relied on allegations that appeared in British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier as well as threats to deploy the rarely enforced Logan Act.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham made the memo public on Wednesday as part of his investigation of alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance abuses and other actions taken by law enforcement during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
