Brynn gingras joins us now with the latest on her and how she may factor into Robert Muellers case. Do we have any idea what they asked her . We dont right now, anderson. What was asked by muellers team to davis. But we know this woman, known as manhattan madam voluntarily spoke with investigators. And what she knows and how she fits isnt exactly clear.

You can see there, thats a lot of white space. There are two exceptions. The final page is information from a document, from february 2016. Of course, thats long before the russia probe began. It says steele was, quote, verbally admonished by the fbi and that steele acknowledged the admonishment and even signed a document noting it. Now, from this excerpt, which obviously is tantalizing, we dont have the wider context of why. The other item comes from page two of these new documents.
