FBI Investigating Server Link Between Trump Organization And Russian Bank: Report

A report Thursday confirmed that the FBI is still investigating a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank. CNN is reporting that while initial reports about the server were made in November, the FBI continues to investigate the matter for possible connections to the Russia probe.

The FBI’s counterintelligence unit is running the investigation is reportedly handling the investigation into the server which is connected to the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign.

Investigators find the server relationship between the Trump Organization and the Russian bank “odd.”

According to CNN, “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.”

The CNN report went on to say that, “the activity could suggest an intent to communicate by email during a period of time when ties between the Trump Organization and Russia are being closely scrutinized because of Russia’s alleged involvement in hacking the emails of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chief John Podesta.”
