Federal investigators and computer scientists continue to examine whether there was a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, sources close to the investigation tell CNN.
Questions about the possible connection were widely dismissed four months ago. But the FBI's investigation remains open, the sources said, and is in the hands of the FBI's counterintelligence team -- the same one looking into Russia's suspected interference in the 2016 election.
One U.S. official said investigators find the server relationship "odd" and are not ignoring it. But the official said there is still more work for the FBI to do. Investigators have not yet determined whether a connection would be significant.
The server issue surfaced again this weekend, mentioned in a Breitbart article that, according to a White House official, sparked President Trump's series of tweets accusing investigators of tapping his phone. CNN is told there was no Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant on the server.
The FBI declined to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
In addition, companies involved have provided CNN with new explanations that at times conflict with each other and still don't fully explain what happened. The story -- of a possible connection between computer servers -- is a strange tale because there are no specific allegations of wrongdoing and only vague technical evidence.
Internet data shows that last summer, a computer server owned by Russia-based Alfa Bank repeatedly looked up the contact information for a computer server being used by the Trump Organization -- far more than other companies did, representing 80% of all lookups to the Trump server.
It's unclear if the Trump Organization server itself did anything in return. No one has produced evidence that the servers actually communicated.

CNN = Counterfeit News Network??????
More b/s from them????
This is presumed to be complete counterfeit b/s until these lying leftists prove otherwise with clear and convincing evidence.
Please take this trash off of Breaking News until we have actual proof of validity.
I've got an even better theory. The CIA ran implants both at the Russian bank and on Trump's server. They used DNS for covert comm.
Here they go again.
Possible, but more likely the DNS was done for some other reason like an accidental misconfiguration.
And how hard is that to determine for our super duper spies?
Russians travel.
If a Russian has an account at that bank, and pays with a credit card to stay at a Trump hotel, I'll bet the Russian bank's mainframe talks to a server from Trump's company.
BFD.
Guilt by innuendo.
who had a brother named unnamed
whatever happened to sheryl atkinson? She was on fox briefly- haven’t seen her in a long time-
When are they going to look at this dog of a made up tale, sleeping under the porch, tongue lolling, drool dripping, and finally admit what everybody else already knows. This bitch won’t hunt (but she might just rouse herself to take a big chunk out of her owners’ ass).
This line really tells you all you need to know
“The story — of a possible connection between computer servers — is a strange tale because there are no specific allegations of wrongdoing and only vague technical evidence.”
Strange tale + No specific allegations of wrongdoing + Only vague technical evidence = Very fake investigative journalism.
Watch CNN to hear more “strange tales”...
Note that CNN compiled this nonsense after Comey had his meeting today with House and Senate leaders. Little doubt this was brought up.
Nonsensical garbage. Sounds like someone who got caught lying so they try to justify their lies and actions by lying more. Basically just trying to bullshit their way out of a situation.
Oh wait. That IS what CNN is doing
Why bother to post this crapola....anything from CNN is as false as it comes?
Are you kidding?! Very fake news is comedy gold!
BINGO!
You win the internet for Friday!
And the day just started! It's not even 1AM yet...
The hysteria has stopped.
CNN and their ilk are nothing more than carnival sideshows now.
CNN is so far past "jumping the shark", that it takes the light from "jumping the shark" a million years to reach them...
I did some traveling over the last week. Caught more than a few people comparing Obama to Nixon on wiretapping but not a single person talking about Russia. It has zero traction.
I bet it’s somebody watching Russian porn.
I don’t get it ..??
Manafort (Trump’s former campaign manager), had known business contacts in Russia .. so why would it be unusual for him to have a bank connection ..??
And .. at the time the Dems were tapping the phones, I believe it fits perfectly into the time Manafort was still involved with the campaign.
I still don’t understand what all the fuss is about ..??
The conversations were recorded .. everybody knew what was said; there is no “there” there.
