Rep. Nunes RIPS FBI For Opening Investigation Into Whether Trump Was Russian Agent Based on Unverified Rumors
Rep. Devin Nunes released a statement Saturday after the New York Times revealed the FBI opened up a counterintel investigation into Trump shortly after the President fired Comey.
According to the New York Times, the investigation into whether Trump was a Russian agent was then handed over to Robert Mueller upon his appointment on May 17th, 2017, about one week after the President fired Comey.
The New York Times admitted in their report that there is no evidence that the Trump campaign EVER had any contact with Russian government officials. The investigation was launched based on unverified rumors.
