On 2 December 2017, the Ladies of Liberty web site published an article reporting that Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who now heads the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, would soon be resigning his position due to the disclosure of his long-term affair with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Nothing in this report was true. This story originated with Ladies of Liberty, a site that is part of a network of fake news sites dedicated to spreading political misinformation under the guise of proffering satire. Mueller did not step down from the Special Counsel's office until May 2019, after his report on the investigation into Russian interference had been completed and delivered.
