Newly declassified FBI memos reframing 2017 Comey firing and Trump–Russia questions

White House releases newly declassified FBI memos showing a 2017 counterintelligence inquiry into whether Trump’s firing of James Comey was connected to Russia, raising questions about possible obstruction and whether Trump directed or coordinated with Russia. Mueller’s investigation later found no conspiracy by the Trump campaign with Russia, while a Durham review concluded the FBI lacked a solid factual basis to start Crossfire Hurricane. The annex also discusses Clinton campaign efforts to smear Trump by tying him to Russia.
