MSNBC: FBI Warned Trump in Summer 2016 Russians May Try to Infiltrate His Campaign

‘Hillary Clinton received a similar briefing and the candidates were urged to alert the FBI about any suspicious overtures to their campaign’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “New reporting from NBC News reveals that high level counterintelligence briefings from the summer of 2016, stay with me, summer of 2016, the F.B.I. warned then-candidate Donald Trump that Russians might try to infiltrate his campaign. Hmm. Citing multiple government officials familiar with the matter, the report says the warnings were timed to occur around the period when the candidates began receiving classified intelligence, which put them at greater risk from being targeted by foreign spies. They got a very clear warning. Trump was briefed and warned, that's the way the words were put, at a session on August 17, 2016 about potential espionage threats from Russia."
