(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Newly declassified files show that the FBI opened a criminal investigation into the fringe theory that President Donald Trump may have acted as a Russian agent shortly after he fired then-FBI Director James Comey.
The files, released by the White House on Wednesday, once again expose the aggressive steps the bureau took against Trump after he was sworn into office in 2017.
According to the files, the Trump-targeted probe, code-named “Oxferd Comma,” was launched within days of Trump’s dismissal of Comey on May 9, 2017.
The investigation appeared to lay the groundwork for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, which overshadowed much of Trump’s first two years in office despite ultimately finding no criminal conspiracy.
