Special counsel Robert Mueller is leaving no stone unturned in his quest for evidence of Russian collusion.
A Russian company is accusing the special counsel of having “collected a nude selfie” as part of the probe.
The charge, according to The Hill magazine, was made in a court filing by Eric Dubelier — an attorney for Concord Management and Consulting — that accused the Mueller investigative team of illegally withholding information from the firm.
The filing says the picture is among millions of records Mr. Mueller has collected as evidence but is not willing to disclose on national-security grounds.
“Could the manner in which he collected a nude selfie really threaten the national security of the United States?” Mr. Dubelier wrote.
Concord is among the Russian companies and citizens indicted by Mr. Mueller earlier this year on charges of trolling the Internet to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections.

Manhunt on in Vienna after five monks assaulted, held captive in church
Five monks have been injured, one seriously, after being held captive at a Vienna church, police said.
Police launched a search operation and deployed a helicopter to the area as well as putting in public transport controls to search for up to two men suspected of carrying out the attack, who were at large.
Several of the monks were tied up in the church and gagged, according to Vienna police spokesperson Harald Soros.
The men, one carrying a gun, raided the Maria Immaculata church at around 1.30 pm local time.
They told a 68-year-old monk to lie on the floor where they punched, kicked and hit him with "tools", causing "severe head injuries", police wrote in a statement.
When his four brothers of the Order came to look for him they were attacked and tied up, but there were no knife or gun wounds.
One further monk was tied up elsewhere in an office but not injured, the police statement read.
All the victims were taken to nearby hospitals.
A victim said one of the suspects was around 180 cm tall, with dark hair and spoke German with an accent, according to police.
The motive for the attack was not known, but terrorism had been ruled out, police wrote on Twitter.
One of the perpetrators was thought to have "demanded valuables and cash," it added.

A huge majority of the Republican Party supports President Trump's handling of the partial government shutdown, according to a Huffington Post/YouGov poll released Thursday.
The poll reveals some deep divisions between Republican and Democratic voters.
A total of 84 percent of Republicans — 64 percent of whom strongly approve and 20 percent who somewhat approve — support Trump's refusal to accept a funding bill that does not include more than $5 billion for enhancing security operations at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Reuters/Ipsos survey was conducted online among 2,440 U.S. adults, and it had a 2.4 percentage point margin of error.
