Trump Transition Team Records Was Secretly Given to FBI and Mueller: Senate Committees Report

The General Service Administration (GSA) secretly gave President Donald Trump’s transition team records to then-special counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI in 2017, a report by two Senate committees says. Meanwhile, the GSA refused to provide Trump’s transition team copies of its own records, according to the report (pdf).
