A very notable feature of both the Mueller and the New York State investigations into trump and his campaign has been they have hitherto both been extremely disciplined about security and totally Air tight. There were no leaks from either investigation I can recall.
This might have been a matter of standard practice, but it is also important because maintaining its airtightness would take the wind out of any whisper campaigns that trump’s cronies and the his Fox News cohorts will do without any scruples whatsoever.
So I have no doubt the Mueller investigation will deny anything that any outside news agency claimed to have scooped as a matter of policy, regardless of whether it has any grains of truth, until Mueller is ready to lay everything on the table.
