Did the FBI launch an investigation into Trump? the FBI launched an investigation known as "Crossfire Hurricane" after receiving a tip from a foreign diplomat that the Trump campaign may have had advance knowledge of the WikiLeaks dump of DNC emails.
An FBI agent, part of the probe, attended a security briefing for Trump in August 2016. Michael Flynn, one of Trump's advisers, was a subject of the Crossfire Hurricane probe and the agent wrote a memo on his observations. "During the [intelligence] briefs, writer actively listened for topics or questions regarding the Russian Federation," he wrote, recording comments by Trump. Did the FBI meet with members of the Trump campaign? An FBI informant in Europe, a professor named Stefan Halper, met in Europe in the summer of 2016 with at least three people working on the Trump campaign. Did the FBI perform surveillance on Trump's staff? An FBI surveillance warrant was issued in October 2016 regarding Carter Page, a Trump foreign policy adviser, who was one of four Trump officials under scrutiny (including Flynn). The warrant was approved after Page left the campaign, but Page said he remained in contact with Trump campaign officials "through the election, transition, and later during the Trump administration." He said the FBI quizzed him on "my early 2017 text messages with Steve Bannon," one of Trump's top advisers. What was the outcome of the investigation? The Justice Department inspector general investigated the origins of the probe and found numerous errors. It also found that the threshold for starting a counterintelligence investigation was rather low. But "we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced [the] decision to open Crossfire Hurricane," the report said.
Vice president of the U.S Mike Pence said "When Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, the FBI actually spied on President Trump and my campaign."
