What is Crossfire Hurricane?
Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2016 and 2017 into links between Trump associates and Russian officials and "whether individuals associated with the Donald J. Trump for President Campaign were coordinating, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election."
The investigation was officially opened on July 31, 2016, initially due to information on Trump campaign member George Papadopoulos's early knowledge of Russians having damaging material on Donald Trump's rival candidate Hillary Clinton.
