There were unproven theories that Mifsud was a Russian asset or even an asset for the CIA investigating the Trump campaign. The Mueller report only identified him as having connections within Russia. Nunes said he was concerned because it seemed Mueller’s report appeared to be selective in the information it used regarding the professor. Reuters in 2019 pointed out that Mueller’s report claimed Mifsud became more interested in Papadopoulos after he took a job as an adviser on the campaign. The report said that Mifsud, who has not been seen in public since 2017, told an Italian newspaper he never told Papadopoulos about the information on Clinton.
