#Comey firing linked to Russia probe of Drumpf

[malenipshadows]

+ The Justice Department during the Tr*mp administration sought records from Apple, Inc., relating to communications by House Intelligence Committee members as well as some of their aides and family members, a committee official said. + Apple in May notified individuals associated with the committee that the Justice Department had issued grand-jury subpoenas for their information in February 2018, the official said. + The committee immediately contacted the Justice Department for clarification and additional information, the official said, adding that the department informed the committee last month (May 2021) that the matter had been closed. + In 2018, Tr*mp administration officials had complained about leaks to the media regarding alleged ties between Russia and the Tr*mp presidential campaign.

+ Apple didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. + House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, both California Democrats, called for an investigation into the Justice Department’s pursuit of the communications data, first reported by the New York Times.  That newspaper reported that the records of at least a dozen people connected to the panel in 2017 and early 2018, including Mr. Schiff’s, were seized in the probe. + At the time of the subpoenas, then-pres-ident Donald Tr*mp and officials in his administration, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, were trying to locate the source of leaks about contacts between Russia and figures in Mr. Tr*mp’s 2016 election campaign.  Mr. Tr*mp’s second attorney general,          William Barr, renewed the leak investigations after taking office in 2019, directing a federal prosecutor from New Jersey to work on about a half-dozen cases, according to a person familiar with the matter. + Mr. Sessions, who had recused himself from the Russia investigation, declined to comment Mr. Barr also declined to discuss any subpoenas of lawmakers’ communications records.

+ In the campaign’s closing weeks, the presi-dent has intensified public calls for jailing his challenger, much as he did for Hillary Clinton, his opponent in 2016. Tr*mp has called Biden a “criminal” without articulating what laws he believes the former vice president has broken. + People familiar with the discussions say Tr*mp wants official action similar to the announcement made 11 days before the last presidential election by then-FBI Director James B. Comey, who informed Congress he had reopened an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state after potential new evidence had been discovered.

 *** Mr. Mueller’s investigators wanted to question Mr. Priebus, who was fired in July, about Mr. Trump’s decision to fire the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, in May, and Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in February. They also wanted to ask Mr. Priebus about a 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials — including Mr. Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and his campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort — and Russians who promised derogatory information on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee. Mr. Manafort had been scheduled to meet with Mr. Priebus on the day of the June 9, 2016, meeting. ***
