Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators probing the 2016 U.S. presidential race has grown to include Ryan Dickey, a federal prosecutor responsible for investigating several high-profile cybercrime cases.

Mr. Mueller’s team brought Mr. Dickey onboard in November, a spokesperson for the special counsel’s office confirmed Wednesday, adding him to a group of 16 other lawyers already investigating the 2016 race on behalf of the Justice Department, The Washington Post first reported.

Previously an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia and Department of Justice’s computer crime and intellectual-property division, Mr. Dickey is the first publicly known member of the special counsel’s probe to specialize exclusively in cyber matters, The Post reported.
