Robert Hyde, the new mystery player in the Ukraine scandal who was “secretly monitoring” the whereabouts of ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, was taken into police custody at a Trump resort last year, Mother Jones reports.
He claimed the Secret Service and a hit man were after him and was later “involuntarily confined in a medical facility.”
The Daily Beast has more on Hyde, who is now a congressional candidate.
