While in office, Trump gave the Russians intelligence inside
the Oval Office and secretly celebrated after the dismissal of the FBI director.
During a meeting inside the Oval Office five years ago tomorrow, then-US President Donald Trump unveiled an encrypted word for top secret intelligence
which put Israeli agents at risk
and celebrated his firing of FBI Director Jim Comey. No American journalist was allowed to attend the meeting, but an official Russian media photographer was allowed.
Today marks the anniversary of Trump's dismissal of the FBI director, according to NBC News presidential historian Michael Bishloss, who pointed this out on Twitter.
Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak
and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were among those present at the "fun" Oval Office meeting.
"Current and former U.S.
intelligence officials described Kislyak as a big spy and spy recruit," CNN reported just two months before Trump welcomed diplomats to the Oval Office.
The Russian embassy shared this photo of Donald Trump joyfully shaking Kislyak's hand a day after the secret meeting:
Ten days after Comey was shot
the world was hearing that at the secret meeting of the Oval Office
- Trump told the Russians
- "I just fired the head of the FBI."
- According to The New York Times, "He was absolutely crazy."
It faced considerable pressure because of Russia.
This is dislocation ".
- Back in November 2020, Carter Page, a former Trump campaign participant
- filed a $75 million federal lawsuit against the FBI
- and Justice Department. The new lawsuit was filed in Washington.
Page claims the FBI targeted him because he worked for Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
In the complaint
- there is a mention of a memo requests from the FBI
- to scan the page electronically.
- Page's claims refer to those orders as "false and misleading".
The Ministry of
Justice dropped Page's wiretaps earlier this year because it found it had "insufficient reason" to continue.
Page was included in the FBI and DOJ investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The Justice Department found that two of
the four memos issued to survey the page lacked "probable cause" to support any allegations that Page was acting as a Russian agent.
Despite the frequent inaccuracies
- Horowitz made the decision
- to initiate an investigation
- into Russian interference.
In the case
Page accused the FBI of relying on documents and information provided by British spy Christopher Steele.
The lawsuit states that the FBI
relied on Steele's information while knowing that he had
"obtained funds from
the Democratic Party and or Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to conduct"
a political search for dissent and to discover dirt on the relationship between the Trump campaign and Russia in order to divert attention from investigating Clinton's email practices while she was secretary of state. "
