Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) dismissed a Daily Beast report about Special Counsel Robert Mueller looking into a 2017 meeting he attended along with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and foreign officials as a “fake news story” on Tuesday. “It’s always another day, they do another fake news story. I don’t even know what they’re talking about,” Nunes told Fox & Friends. “The fact that I’m holding meetings with ambassadors—you can have at it, because I do it every day,” he said. Mueller’s office, along with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, are reportedly looking into the breakfast meeting that took place at Trump’s D.C. hotel in Jan. 2017. Mueller's investigators are said to be scrutinizing the event as part of their probe into whether foreigners contributed money to Trump’s inaugural fund through U.S. intermediaries, and Manhattan federal prosecutors are looking at the meeting as part of an investigation into whether Trump’s inaugural committee was misspending funds.
