Special counsel Robert Mueller is examining a previously undisclosed meeting between longtime Donald Trump confidante Roger Stone and a Russian figure who allegedly tried to sell him dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The meeting between Mr. Stone and a man who identified himself as Henry Greenberg was described in a pair of letters sent on Friday to the House Intelligence Committee and first reported by The Washington Post.
