FBI admits ?active investigation? of Trump & his call for Russia to hack Clinton

More shit hits Trump today

Trump himself is being actively investigated!

BOOM: FBI admits ?active, ongoing investigation? includes Donald Trump

Court documents PDF here.

According to recently-revealed court documents, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into a case that includes then-candidate Donald Trump?s public call for Russia to hack then-candidate Hillary Clinton?s emails.

During a 2016 campaign press conference, Trump made a plea directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin?s government.

Following Trump?s July statement, Buzzfeed News investigator Jason Leopold and researcher Ryan Shapiro sued the FBI to release all documents pertaining to the remarks.

In its response to the lawsuit, the FBI confirmed the existence of an ongoing investigation.

?Because of the existence of an active, ongoing investigation,? the court filing says, the agency has the right to ?withhold all records responsive to the Russia Request, because releasing any responsive records (or portions thereof) ?could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.'?
