Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether former
national security adviser Mike Flynn played a role during the
presidential campaign in trying to obtain Hillary Clintons
emails, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper reported Friday that Mueller, who has been tapped
to investigate any coordination between President Trumps
campaign and Russia during the election, was involved in a
private effort to get the Democratic nominees emails from
Russian hackers.
The president has repeatedly denied that he or his campaign
colluded with Russia during the election.
Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, served as a Trump
surrogate during the campaign and briefly served as national
security adviser before being fired over his conversations with
Sergey Kislyak, who was Russia's ambassador to the United States.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that a Republican
activist named Peter Smith, who recently committed suicide, had
attempted to seek out Russian hackers believed to have Clintons
emails.
The outlet reported that Smith had portrayed Mr. Flynn as an
ally in those efforts and implied that other senior Trump
campaign officials were coordinating with him, which they have
denied. The report said Flynns son was also named in
correspondence and conversations.
Flynns son, Michael Flynn Jr., on Friday dismissed the story on
Twitter.
BIG nothingburger folks....more #fakenews as usual, he tweeted.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Smith believed 33,000 of
Clintons deleted emails had been obtained by hackers.
According to authorities, the 81-year-old Smith died May 14
after asphyxiating himself in a Minnesota hotel room. He left a
note saying no foul play whatsoever had occurred.
