After President Donald Trump fired James Comey, the agency's then-director, in 2017, the White House released papers about a hacked, classified FBI research. The details of an internal investigation that was eventually included in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation are revealed in the knowledge that was made public by CBS News.

The report, which was codenamed" Oxferd Comma," was launched as a part of the Crossfire Hurricane inspection, which looked into alleged ties between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government, according to the report.

A covert analysis within the FBI

According to an official cited by the aforementioned media, the case was classified with a special level of confidentiality to limit access even within the FBI itself. The intention, he explained, was to analyze a possible risk to national security through the “least intrusive” mechanism.

However, the same official assured that the investigation ended without finding grounds to support the theory that Trump acted in favor of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Almost all the information the FBI had at the time ruled out that Donald Trump or his campaign conspired with Russia,” the official said, quoted by CBS News.

The case that ended up in the hands of Robert Mueller

The firing of James Comey in May 2017 sparked a political crisis in Washington and led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Mueller's final report concluded that there was no evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, although it documented various contacts between members of the Republican team and people with ties to Moscow.

For years, Donald Trump has maintained that the FBI investigations were used for political purposes and has described the process as a persecution against him. For his part, James Comey has defended the agency's actions and has maintained a critical stance towards the president.

The publication of these documents reopens one of the most controversial episodes in American politics and once again places the origin of the federal investigations that marked Trump's first term under the magnifying glass.
