Special Counsel Robert Mueller told a federal judge that more than 1,000 confidential files compiled in his case against hackers supported by a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin had somehow found their way onto the internet, where the evidence was widely disseminated, in defiance of the judge’s order.
