White House Declassifies Info on Secret FBI Probe Into Whether Trump Fired Comey at Russia's Behest, Official Says
The memo says agents opened the probe after Comey’s firing and later folded it into Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which found no merit.
- The White House declassified internal FBI memos revealing a secret May 2017 criminal investigation—codenamed "Oxferd Comma"—into whether President Donald Trump was acting as a Russian asset when he fired FBI Director James Comey.
- The probe was established as a sensitive subcomponent of Crossfire Hurricane, launched by the FBI's counterintelligence division to determine if Trump was wittingly or unwittingly directed, controlled, or coordinated by the Russian government.
- Administration officials emphasized that the underlying premise lacked factual merit, noting internal records show the bureau's own evidence at the time had already largely ruled out claims of collusion between Trump or his campaign and Moscow.
- The secret case was eventually folded into Special Counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry, which ultimately concluded without finding evidence that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia.
- The records were identified and released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, as officials point to the documents as evidence of improper governance and investigative overreach by FBI leadership in the wake of Comey's dismissal.
