- White House releases declassified FBI memos on "Oxferd Comma" investigation into Trump — The White House published declassified FBI internal memos on its website describing a criminal investigation opened in May 2017 targeting President Trump, alleging he may have been a Russian asset when he fired FBI Director James Comey. The memos, released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, show the FBI opened the probe despite its own agents having largely dismissed collusion allegations. The article, written by John Solomon (identified as chairman of the Transparency Task Force), frames the investigation as unfounded and cites subsequent inquiries concluding no basis existed for the original probe.
