Operation Crossfire Hurricane

Operation Crossfire Hurricane was the name for the FBI’s investigation launched in 2016 to determine if Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election and whether any individuals associated with the Trump campaign coordinated with Russian efforts. It involved gathering intelligence, wiretapping, and surveillance to uncover potential links and motives behind possible foreign interference. The investigation aimed to protect election integrity but also became a point of political controversy, as some questioned its methods and motives. Ultimately, it contributed to findings that Russia did interfere and prompted further inquiries into potential connections between the Trump campaign and Russian entities.
