Special counsel Robert Mueller is preparing court filings detailing Trump associates’ offers of sanctions relief to “well-connected” Russians, the Daily Beast reported Tuesday, citing three unnamed sources “familiar with Mueller’s probe.”
The filings will also detail “how those offers and counter-proposals were characterized” to Trump campaign and administration officials, in the report’s words.
