The Bizarre Mueller Allegations Were Too Sketchy Even For Gateway Pundit



By Tierney Sneed

Salacious and unfounded accusations that special counsel Robert Mueller engaged in sexual misconduct were even a bridge too far for the far-right conspiracy website Gateway Pundit, which had posted “exclusive documents” Tuesday alleging a 2010 rape, only to take them down a few hours later as scrutiny of the other conservative activists hyping the allegations grew.

The website’s founder Jim Hoft (pictured above) took down the documents Tuesday evening, after they had been posted for about five hours. Hoft updated the post with a note saying the site was investigating the allegations.

“There are also very serious allegations against Jacob Wohl. We are also looking into this,” the post said.

Jacob Wohl is a pro-Trump Twitter personality who appears tied to a supposed private intel firm, Surefire Intelligence, that was revealed to be bogus as reporters began looking into sketchy allegations of a payoff scheme for Mueller accusers.
