Trump reacts to report that the FBI investigated him on relations with Russia

President Donald Trump reacted on Saturday morning to the New York Times report, which states that the FBI investigated him after he fired the FBI director, James Comey, to see if the US president worked for Russia and said it was a “Total sordidness .”

” Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin ‘James Comey, a total sleaze! “Wrote Trump on his Twitter account.


The newspaper reported that FBI agents and some senior officials began to suspect Trump’s ties to the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential campaign, but did not initiate an investigation at that time because they were unsure of how to approach such a sensitive and important investigation. , according to the sources.

But Trump’s behavior in the days when Comey was fired in May 2017, especially in two moments in which he seemed to link the dismissal of the director with the investigation on Russia, helped to start the counterintelligence part of the investigation. , according to the NY Times sources.

Robert Mueller took over the investigation when he was appointed special prosecutor shortly after Comey’s dismissal. The investigation in general examines the Russian interference in the 2016 elections and whether the Trump campaign was coordinated with Moscow. The newspaper says it is unknown if Mueller is still investigating the counterintelligence angle.


Trump has repeatedly denied that he has colluded with the Russians.
