2016 Elections

For people who were involved with Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign, the echoes of then-FBI Director James Comey's press conference on July 5, 2016, are hard to miss.

Special Counsel John Durham says the DOJ and FBI "failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law" and in particular, relied on leads provided by Trump's political opponents.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit alleging Facebook developers sold user data to Cambridge Analytica, a former political consulting firm, to target people in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

It alleges that Trump, as a result of defendants' actions, has sustained losses of at least $24 million "and continuing to accrue, as well as the loss of existing and future business opportunities."

A cybersecurity lawyer who worked at a law firm tied to the Democratic Party is the second person charged in John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's Trump-Russia probe.

Newly surfaced materials in the legal case involving former national security adviser Michael Flynn show that an investigator was dubious. Flynn's advocates call his case a frame-up by the feds.

The court has ruled that a judge can hear arguments about the Justice Department's motivations for wanting to end prosecution of President Trump's former national security adviser.
