Allegedly stolen funds or Soros funds. Too close to call. Mostly true.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t need left-leaning fake myth-buster Snopes.com to verify this scoop though. Mikkelson recently ditched his fact-checking co-founder ex wife Barbara Mikkelson after hooking up with Elyssa Young, who for years worked as a call girl and adult movie star. Perhaps we should say former porn star? And former prostitute? Journalism etiquette for porn stories and female escorts is very vague. And who are we to say she is fully retired?
