Newly revealed FBI documents show that investigators were concerned Donald Trump may have been working in coordination with Russia during his first term as president. The concerns emerged in connection with his decision to fire then-FBI Director James Comey.
The records shed new light on how the FBI viewed the circumstances surrounding Comey’s dismissal. They indicate that the bureau examined whether Trump’s actions reflected a relationship with Russia, including the possibility that he was acting as a Russian agent.
The disclosures add to the record surrounding the Trump-Russia investigation and the controversy that followed Comey’s removal. They focus on the FBI’s internal concerns at the time, rather than establishing the allegations as proven facts.
