Special Counsel Robert Mueller has obtained many tens of thousands of Trump transition emails, including sensitive emails of Jared Kushner, transition team sources tell Axios.
Trump officials discovered Mueller had the emails when his prosecutors used them as the basis for questions to witnesses, the sources said.
The emails include 12 accounts, one of which contains about 7,000 emails, the sources said.
The accounts include the team's political leadership and the foreign-policy team, the sources said.
Why it matters: The transition emails are said to include sensitive exchanges on matters that include potential appointments, gossip about the views of particular senators involved in the confirmation process, speculation about vulnerabilities of Trump nominees, strategizing about press statements, and policy planning on everything from war to taxes.
Mueller is using the emails to confirm things, and get new leads, a transition source told me.
How it happened: The sources say Mueller obtained the emails from the General Services Administration, the government agency that hosted the transition email system, which had addresses ending in ptt.gov, for Presidential Transition Team.
Axios has asked the Special Counsels Office for comment and will update this story with the response.
The transition sources said they were surprised about the emails because they have been in touch with Muellers team and have cooperated.
They ask us to waive NDAs [nondisclosure agreements] and things like that, a second source said. We have never said no to anything.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they have had access to them all along.
Yeah and I’d like to know who signed the warrant and see what the probable cause was.
They are looking for Iran plans
It is a lost cause for Frau Mueller because the deck is stacked against him and from people who he cannot defeat. It is best for him to quit or be obliterated.
Sessions is looking more like a Trojan Horse each passing day.
Mueller seems to be broadening his investigation on his own.
Nope. Rosenstein is signing off on all this nonsense.
Evidence:
Rosenstein received almost unanimous support in US Senate from DEMOCRATS. That was a loud bell and a wake up call.
Rosenstein is certainly following the Democrat delay playbook while Mueller creates facts on the ground with indictments. That they are all process crimes and/or totally unrelated to Trump is never mentioned by the propagandists in the media.
Yes, while Sessions has recused himself from Russia collusion, while Mueller pursues non-Russia-related crimes by Manafort & others.
This sounds like something leaked by shifty Schiff.
I highly recommend checking out today’s tweets from Bill Mitchell, which might explain what’s going on behind all of this mess.
Please see my post #51
It won’t be long before we go back to carrier pigeons. It’s the only way to transmit confidential information...
I bet he is just hiding behind his office desk. I saw the look on Trumps face at Quantico yesterday passing him as he went to give his speech and it was t a good joblook. Sessions is a nice senator but useless as AG. Hes got. To go. I hope he resigns.
IMHO, Sessions is getting ready to retire, and wishes to have Attorney General for 4 years as his legacy. He will make no waves to risk his position knowing full well the dept of Justice is full of Hillary supporters and swamp creatures.
Thanks.
Mueller is really overstepping is authority and if there is any justice this rat will do prison time.
Thanks for the mention.
