Question Of The Week: What Do You Think Of FBI Announcing Trump-Russian Investigation?

In remarkably blunt testimony before a Congressional intelligence committee, FBI Director James Comey confirmed an investigation is underway that could lead to criminal charges for members of President Trump's campaign staff.

The investigation is looking into whether Trump campaign officials, or even Trump himself, coordinated with Russia to disrupt the 2016 presidential election. Comey also reported that no evidence exists to support Trump's claim that he was wiretapped by President Obama. (Sign up for the free White House Patch morning newsletter and Breaking News Alerts.)

Meanwhile, it appears the FBI is also investigating the source of leaks about the Russian ties investigation, which had been reported on but not confirmed by Comey until Monday's testimony.
