high-level counter intelligence briefing and a similar to hillary clinton. the candidates were urged to alert the fbi about suspicious over tours to the campaigns and designed to educate the candidates and top aids about potential threats from foreign spies. they were timed to occur when they started receiving classified intelligence and classified briefings put them at greater risk to being targeted by foreign spies. so we re learning this for the first time today. we already knew that trump s first classified intelligence briefing as a newly minted presidential candidate happened last august, august 17th, 2016. this warning that we now know went to trump and his top staffers on the campaign, this is is very interesting for a few reasons. first of all, we know by the time trump was getting that warning, more than a half dozen trump campaign staffers, including members of his own family had already taken high-level meetings with
about it. that s what we have yesterday. all right. there is new reporting from nbc news revealing that in high level counterintelligence briefings, during the summer of 2016, the fbi warned then candidate donald trump that russians might try to infiltrate his campaign. citing multiple government officials familiar with the matter, the report says the warnings were timed to occur around the period when the candidates began receiving classified intelligence which put them at greater risk for being targeted by foreign spies. trump was briefed and warned at a session on august 17th, 2016, about potential espionage threats from russia. two people familiar with sessions told nbc news. hillary clinton got a similar briefing and the candidates were urged to alert the fbi about any
all the meetings we know of. that seems to be a theme among federal prosecutors, i don t believe in hunches is what chuck rosenburg told me earlier today or federal investigators i should say. there s also this. it s interesting, as well talking about trump campaign official or someone who was in contact with trump campaign officials talking directly with guccifer 2.0 who this indictment names, as well as a russian. the conspirators posing as guccifer 2.0 communicated with u.s. personas about the release of stolen documents on other about august 15th, 2016, the conspirators posing as guccifer 2.0 wrote to a person in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of donald trump. thank you for writing back. on or about august 17th, 2016 they added please tell me if i can help you anyhow. it would be a great pleasure to me. ken, back to you for a moment. that s roger stone, right.
