Trump Declassifies FBI Probe Into Comey Ouster

“The White House on Wednesday declassified information claiming the FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was acting as an asset for Russia when he fired FBI Director James Comey, a theory an administration official said was not backed up by evidence,” CBS News reports.

“The official said the investigation, known as Oxford Comma, was a subcomponent of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI probe into potential collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government — an investigation that has long drawn Mr. Trump’s ire. The predicate of Oxford Comma was the newly elected president’s decision to fire Comey in 2017.”
