The whistleblower claims Comey personally directed an off-the-books investigation targeting Trump after his candidacy announcement in June 2015. The agents were reportedly instructed to act as “honeypots” to gather information through romantic or sexual interest.
The operation was separate from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and lacked proper justification. Current FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are investigating the agents’ whereabouts. The FBI has yet to comment.
If verified, the allegations could suggest institutional bias against Trump during his 2016 campaign.
