Secret FBI Investigation Looked at Trump as Possible Russian Asset

Secret FBI Investigation Looked at Trump as Possible Russian Asset

Secret FBI Investigation Looked at Trump as Possible Russian Asset
The White House released FBI memos about a 2017 investigation into Trump's firing of James Comey and its connection to Russia.
The investigation, called 'Oxferd Comma,' started after Trump fired Comey in May 2017. The name 'Oxford' was misspelled.
The probe looked into whether Trump was a Russian asset due to national security concerns.
Investigators wanted to know if Trump worked with Russia in a way that threatened the US or broke federal laws.
The investigation also looked into whether Trump and others tried to stop the FBI from investigating.
Comey was appointed by President Barack Obama and was FBI Director from 2013 to 2017.
Comey started the 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation in July 2016 after learning about Trump's campaign and Russia.
The Supreme Court did not revive a lawsuit related to the Trump-Russia probe.

Comey investigated Hillary Clinton's use of private email servers and found more emails before the 2016 election.
Trump fired Comey after taking office, citing the Clinton email investigation.
Comey's trial was discussed in relation to a post about a seashell.
A week after Comey was fired, Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation.
Mueller found that Russia tried to influence the election through social media and hacking. He did not find that Trump's campaign worked with Russia.
After Mueller's probe ended, the 'Oxferd Comma' investigation memos were closed in April 2019.
Attorney General William Barr appointed John Durham to review the FBI's Russia investigation, which found the Bureau lacked a factual basis to open the investigation.
Comey was appointed by President Barack Obama and served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017.
New documents show officials were concerned about Clinton's plan to connect Trump to Russia.
A letter from Leonard Benardo discussed a plan to divert attention from Clinton's emails by focusing on Trump and Russia.
Benardo wrote that it would take time to make Putin and Trump look bad, and the FBI would add to the story later.
The 'Julie' in Benardo's letter appears to be Clinton advisor Julianne Smith.
