FBI Probes Alleged Comey Honeypot Plot Against Trump
The FBI is starting an investigation into the agency's plan to infiltrate President Donald Trump's first campaign using two female undercover agents as a honeypot.
According to The Washington Times' initial reporting, the investigation was launched in 2015 by FBI Director James Comey and kept off the books. An FBI whistleblower broke the news of the inquiry to the House Judiciary Committee last year.
The plan was said to involve two undercover female agents who had infiltrated the Trump campaign at high-levels.
FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy Director Dan Bongino are now looking for those once-undercover agents.
Initially, the whistleblower noted that the honeypot was a separate operation from Crossfire Hurricane, and sought to uncover no specific crime but was merely a fishing expedition.
