Trump given unverified reports that russia had damaging details about him
You're referring to the infamous "pee tape" allegations!
In 2016, during the US presidential election, Donald Trump was reportedly given unverified reports by the FBI that Russia had compromising information about him, including a video of him engaging in a sexual act with a prostitute in a Moscow hotel room. This information was allegedly part of a dossier compiled by a former British intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, who was hired by Fusion GPS, a private intelligence firm.
The dossier, which became known as the "Steele dossier," contained a range of salacious and unverified allegations about Trump's behavior in Russia, including claims of corruption, bribery, and even a supposed plot to conspire with Russia to influence the election.
The FBI had obtained the dossier in September 2016, but it was not verified or corroborated by the agency. Despite this, the information was shared with Trump's campaign team, and it's believed that Trump himself was briefed on the allegations by the FBI director, James Comey, in January 2017.
The "pee tape" allegations, in particular, were widely reported and sparked a media frenzy. However, it's worth noting that the FBI never found any evidence to support these claims, and the allegations were never substantiated.
In 2019, the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, released a report that found the FBI had relied too heavily on the Steele dossier and had failed to adequately verify its contents. The report also concluded that the FBI had made significant errors in its handling of the investigation into Russian interference in the election.
Despite the lack of evidence, the "pee tape" allegations have continued to be a source of controversy and speculation, with some Trump critics using them to question his fitness for office. However, many have also criticized the media for perpetuating the story without sufficient evidence, and for using it to undermine Trump's presidency.
