FBI Investigates Alleged Comey Honeypot Operation Targeting Trump Campaign

The FBI is investigating an off-the-books operation that allegedly involved former Director James Comey directing undercover 'honeypot' agents to infiltrate Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. This revelation stems from a whistleblower's disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee, which claims the operation was intended to unearth incriminating information against Trump, despite lacking a specific target or crime. The investigation reportedly involved two female agents and was separate from the later Crossfire Hurricane probe into Russian collusion. Current FBI leadership, including Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is now seeking the identities of these agents. The whistleblower has raised concerns about institutional bias within the FBI, suggesting that the operation may have aimed to manipulate the political process. The investigation was reportedly halted after one of the agents was identified by a newspaper, leading to a cover-up by the FBI's press office.
