The Trump DOJ subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey — the official who opened the original “Crossfire Hurricane” Russia investigation in July 2016 (and was fired by Trump in May 2017) — in connection with a probe led by a Florida U.S. Attorney examining aspects of intelligence assessments related to the Russia investigation. The action represented a direct targeting of the official who first investigated Russian interference. Trump fired Comey; Comey’s firing prompted the appointment of Special Counsel Mueller.
