CNN: FBI Investigating ‘Odd’ Computer Link Between Russian Bank and Trump Organization

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLITZER: “There is more breaking news right now. New information tonight about questions around computer communications. This summer between servers owned by a Russian bank and the trump organization. Our justice correspondent Pamela brown and our investigative reporter Jose have been looking into all of this for us. Pamela, first to you. What have you learned about this investigation?”

BROWN: “Well, Wolf, we’ve learned that FBI investigators and computer scientists continue to examine whether there was a computer connection between the trump organization and a Russian bank called alpha bank. This is according to several sources familiar with the investigation. This is the same server mentioned in a Breitbart article that a White House official said sparked trump’s series of tweets last Saturday accusing investigators of tapping his phone. CNN is told there was no FISA warrant on this server. But questions about the connection between the server and the Russian bank were widely dismissed four months ago as an attempt by alpha bank to block span. But we have learned that the FBI’s counter intelligence team, the same one looking into Russia’s suspected interference in the 2016 election is still examining it. One officially spoke with said the server relationship is somewhat odd and perplexing and investigators are not ignoring it, but the FBI still has a lot more work to do to determine what was behind this unusual activity and whether there is even any significance to it. The FBI declined to comment. The White House did not respond to the asks for comment.”
