White House Reveals Secret FBI Probe Into Trump-Comey Firing, Cites No Russia Evidence

In a significant move, the White House has declassified information about a secret FBI investigation, code-named 'Oxferd Comma', which looked into whether then-President Donald Trump acted as a 'Russian asset' when he fired FBI Director James Comey in 2017. An administration official stated on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, that this theory was ultimately not supported by evidence. This declassification sheds new light on one of the most talked-about events of Trump's presidency. The 'Oxferd Comma' probe was part of a larger FBI effort known as 'Crossfire Hurricane', which investigated possible links between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. It was later folded into the extensive 'Mueller investigation', led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which also concluded without finding evidence to back the 'Russian asset' claim against Trump. This release comes after previous declassification by the Trump White House regarding election interference and other aspects of the Russia probes, continuing a pattern of making previously secret documents public. The declassification reignites discussions around the origins and conclusions of the Russia investigations, especially as political narratives continue to shape public understanding of past events. Observers will be watching for reactions from former President Trump and other key figures involved, as this information could influence ongoing political discourse and historical interpretations of a tumultuous period in US politics.
