Overview

• The FBI, under new Director Kash Patel, has launched an investigation into allegations that James Comey ordered a covert operation targeting Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
• A whistleblower alleges that two female undercover agents, referred to as 'honeypots,' were deployed to gather intelligence by gaining access to Trump's team.
• The alleged operation, described as a fishing expedition, reportedly lacked official documentation and was hidden from oversight by the Department of Justice's Inspector General.
• The investigation was reportedly abandoned after one agent's cover was compromised when a media outlet obtained her photograph.
• This probe is separate from the FBI's 2016 Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Russian interference in the Trump campaign, which found no evidence of collusion.
