Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland said Friday that the FBI -- under the purview of the Mueller investigation -- tried to set up her up in a "perjury trap."
Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with host Brian Kilmeade, McFarland -- who served under former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn -- explained that her life "went to hell" at the beginning of the Russia probe because investigators were convinced she was President Trump's to the Russians.
"The FBI showed up at my house unannounced. I was all by myself. They come in and I said, 'Do I need a lawyer for anything? I have never met with any Russians. I have never dealt with any Russians,'" she explained.
The agents said that while they couldn't tell her not to get a lawyer, they just wanted a "little bit of information" to help them with the investigation.
"So, I naively went along with it. The whole time they were setting me up for a perjury trap," she told Kilmeade. "Because Brian, they seized all of my files, my documents, text messages, cell phones from the period I was in government...They had control of them. They wouldn't let me have control of them."
However, the search turned out to be fruitless for all parties involved.
"They thought they could pressure me to say, 'Well, I lied in one of my early talks with you guys when I didn't have access to my information,'" she mused.
McFarland added that she was questioned about a 90-minute period spent in the president's Mar-a-Lago Club in which she didn't have any recorded correspondence or conversation in her phone records. That's when, McFarland said, they asked her whether that was the time she met with Trump to get marching orders.

“We need a list of these FBI agent’s names.”
Ah, but all the field agents are pure as the driven snow right Mr. Hannity?
You are so devoid of human understanding that you comments rank you along with the trash you pretend to condemn. Honest, decent people tend to be trusting, not stupid. Sadly, it often hurts them. Child of Alberta, I think you are a thinly disguised anti Trump deep stater.
The coup is just beginning and I think it will get worse in the next 4-5 years or until a demoncrat sits at the throne in the White House.
He has to stop endorsing them.
McCain and Romney worked out like a fart in a space suit.
Grahamnesty and Tillis are right now working on their next amnesty attempt, after he endorsed them.
There will have been no point in electing Trump if Bush League Republicans still end up giving away the country.
I may add that when a subject that is based on lies and then is accepted as fact, even the truth can be considered a lie. That’s why I quoted Judge Jackson. Only someone with part of their brain damaged by liberalism would not understand that.
He’s a Canuck, from Alberta. Same as Ted Cruz.
Brain freeze, maybe?
If you have to ask, the answer is YES!
LOL, good one.
I don’t think there are many honest people willing to replace them.
If we were talking about an old lady down the street that would be one thing. But these "victims" include career political operatives and (in the case of McFarlane and Flynn) career intelligence officials whose jobs involved deception, deceit, and misinformation on a grand scale.
Child of Alberta, I think you are a thinly disguised anti Trump deep stater.
Oh, please -- shut the hell up. Donald Trump is the only political candidate I've ever supported financially in my life.
Since you can't even this simple fact straight, you have lost every shred of credibility you ever had here on FR as far as I'm concerned.
Comey or McCabe bragged about targeting the Trump admin during the transition because they were obviously still getting things set up. There might not have even been a WH counsel when much of this happened.
You wrote on FR that your screen name reflected you’re being born in Alberta Canada.
That is where Ted Cruz was also born.
KT was on Lou Dobbs last night and FF this morning. She was stuck with ~$200K in legal bills and was never charged.
Her crime was supporting POTUS.
NEVER talk with the cops, especially the feds, unless accompanied by a competent attorney who advises you to do so.
Put aside naive notions about civic responsibility. There is no upside to cooperating with the feds, and it is quite likely that whatever you say will be used against you. Why would any sane person cooperate with competent counsel?
You’d think the press would be curious about an Iraqi nuclear scientist taking an interest in a US port.
A lot of conservatives hold out-dated, naive assumptions that the justice system acts in pursuit of justice.
I have never said any such thing. You're only about the 100th Freeper who has said this about me without knowing a single thing about where I was born and where I live.
FWIW -- "Alberta's Child" is the name of a song.
The only difference between the feds and the Gestapo is that, at least in the movies, the Gestapo says, “Papers, please.” The feds have dispensed with the niceties.
Well, that, and the whole genocide thing. I don’t think the feds are plotting genocide, yet.
If we were talking about an old lady down the street that would be one thing. But these “victims” include career political operatives and (in the case of McFarlane and Flynn) career intelligence officials whose jobs involved deception, deceit, and misinformation on a grand scale.

You “want a medal” for donating to Trump? McFarlnad, Flynn and McFarland and the rest of “Special Olympics Admin” all personally risked their careers and financial ruin to support POTUS. Can you say the same?
How about you “shut up” with your childish insults of them? They’ve done far more in support of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda than any of us ever will and are deserving of respect for that.
