Just weeks after Donald Trump won the Republican nomination in July 2016, top FBI officials warned him that Russia and other foreign adversaries likely would spy on and even infiltrate his campaign.
Trump and Hillary Clinton were issued the warning during a high-level counterintelligence briefing by senior FBI officials, NBC News reports. They were urged to notify the FBI if they encountered any suspicions.
Less than a month earlier, Trump urged Russia to hack Clinton’s emails during a news conference in Florida. The FBI warned that foreign hackers could endanger national security because the candidates were about to receive classified information.
During the campaign, Trump never divulged to to the FBI that his inner circle had met with Russian officials.
