The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the
FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by
FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An
FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
The whistleblower disclosure said two female
FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.
