The disclosure came in a report Wednesday night, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
FBI suggests that President Donald Trump may have worked alongside Russian officials to release information aimed at Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.
The FBI has information indicating that associates of President Donald Trump were in communication with suspected Russian agents and that they may have coordinated on releasing hacked emails and other information to undercut Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, CNN reported Wednesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

hmm ya lost me on that one-
“suggests” “possible” “may have” all the weasel words you use when you have no “pwoof”.
Here is how I recap this ping pong match up to this point:
Shot 1: The Russians rigged our elections. We are just saying that you must acknowledge their influence. And now that you have, according to leaked wiretaps the Trump campaign coordinate with Russia to fix the election. Flynn talked to the Russians (after the election) to offer quid pro quo for fixing the elections.
Shot 2: Why was a U.S. citizen wiretapped?
Shot 3: Oh, it was incidental. It was the Russian ambassador who was tapped.
Shot 4: Ok, then why would you unmask a U.S. citizen not subject to the investigation?
Shot 5: No, that isnt the story!!! It is Trump and the Russians!! Much more serious than unmasking a private U.S. citizen. This is the end of his presidency.
Shot 6: Where is the evidence?
Shot 7: Well there isnt any which is why we need a special prosecutor.
Shot 8: Tweet: Obama wiretapped the Trump campaign, disgraceful.
Shot 9: Where is the absolute, 100%, without a doubt, proof that Obama wiretapped Trump. Where is the proof that Obama himself snuck into Trump Tower and directly tapped Trumps phone.
Shot 10: You know Trump meant surveillance in the broader sense of the word. Anyway, why is Trump required to provide 100% proof of tapping, which he says he will provide, when 0% proof is required on the Russian story.
Shot 11: Exactly, the Russian story is the story!!
Shot 12: Really, the story with no evidence? We know, however, that U.S. citizens have been wiretapped in the past. Your own stories in your own newspapers started this entire thing off by saying wiretaps supported collusion with Russia.
Shot 13: Yes, but we meant wiretaps not wiretap wiretaps. Russia and Trump is the story.
Shot 14: Evidence?!?!
Shot 15: Very serious charge. Anyway, Adam Shiff says so. Oh and here is James Comey to announce that ties between the Trump campaign and Russia have been ongoing for 8 months. That must mean there is sumpin there. Impeachment coming. Also, Trump lied about the wiretaps. Comey is unaware of any.
Shot 16: Wait, so Comey has admitted that a sitting Presidents administration was investigating a candidate from the opposition party during an election? Also, in the 8 months that this investigation was going on it is Comeys assertion that surveillance techniques were never used? You know, the stuff used in just about every investigation. Why didnt he notify anyone? Why would he not investigate the unmasking of U.S. citizens?
Shot 17: The real story is Russia and its links to the Trump campaign. But yes, we are annoyed that Comey didnt disclose this investigation during the election. Still, Trump should not have any more nominees considered until such time as this cloud is lifted.
Shot 18: What cloud, there is no evidence. It should concern every American that the Obama administration had been screwing with the rules to allow unmasking of U.S. citizens.
Shot 19: Russia, Story, Period. Oh, and Trumps wiretapping claims have been 100% debunked. This man is hurting the credibility of the nation by lying like this. Just read Susan Rices editorial on this in the WaPo for a great summation as to why.
Shot 20: Umm, the head of the House Intel Committee just said there is evidence. There is a whistle blower. Looks like Comey may have lied. Looks like, at the very least, saying Trump is 100% wrong is what is 100% wrong. Why are U.S. citizens being tapped and or unmasked if incidentally tapped? This is a big scandal.
Shot 21: THE STORY IS RUSSIA!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS. WE TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK. GET THE MESSAGE. MIKA TELLS YOU AND WE ALL TELL YOU!!!
Shot 22: There is more coming out on this.
Shot 23: CNN sayeth that according to unnamed government sources their may be a link with Trump campaign associates. You know, just like the same story that the NYT published a couple of months back. Oh, and this investigation has not used any wiretapping. The investigation has been based on phone records, eye witnesses and other stuff.
Shot 24: You mean stuff that doesnt usually support other investigations. This is just the same damn story recycled to scrub away the mistake you previously made by admitting that there was wiretapping.
Shot 25: Thats it, we need to investigate Nunnes and anyone, for that matter, who is ruining our Trump Russia meme. THAT IS THE STORY.
And now, Shot 26: Newseek re-re-reports on CNN re-reporting on the same story that the NYT reported on a couple of months back featuring “unnamed sources” who say “something” may or may not have happened. Oh, and this investigation has not used any wiretapping. The investigation has been based on phone records, eye witnesses and other stuff. Unlike the first time it was reported wherein wiretapping was breathlessly featured.
The left are throwing out lies as fast as they can.
THEY DO NOT CARE IF IT IS PROVEN TO BE LIES!
may as well start tracking this guy by keyword, he seems to be everywhere and know all sorts of interesting stuff
column 1: Trump says he was wiretapped without any evidence!!!
column 2: Wiretap evidence proves Trump coordinated with Russians!!!
I was being Alan Neuhauser. Or any so-called reporter for that matter.
lol I’m pretty slow on the uptake
“Unnamed officials”
“May have”
“Possible Russian agents”
Blah, blah, blah.
Hypocrites ..... bigly!
Fake News
Fire Comey
if Zero’s team wiretapped Team Trump then it wasn’t Obama that did it, it was his people
If Team Trump contacted some Russian dude, it was Trump who did it, not his people.
pfffft.
You are correct - also I cannot believe an FBI report would use those two words.
