A former adviser to Donald Trump claims that ‘two and perhaps more’ informants approached him prior to the presidential election with information that would have ‘jammed up’ the campaign in some way.
‘These guys were going at us from all different angles,’ Michael Caputo said on a ‘Hannity’ panel Tuesday that included former Trump campaign hand Sam Clovis and and ex-Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page.
Caputo said it’s clear that his colleagues were ‘approached by a spy’ during the campaign, regardless of claims that the person was actually an FBI informant.
‘A spy is a spy is a spy,’ he argued. ‘They’ve done more than this. They had to have done more.’
Caputo previously said on Fox that he thought there were at least two FBI informants sniffing around the Trump presidential campaign.
He told Fox News’s ‘Your World’ that he was approached in May 2016 by an intermediary ‘who had been talking to a government official’ looking to connect with the Trump campaign – purportedly to hand off Hillary Clinton-related emails.
But since then more details have emerged about the second ‘informant’ in question that suggested the issue may have been an innocent misunderstanding.
Kirk Bell, a friend of Caputo’s, was at a DC-area Kentucky Derby in early May when he met a government contractor, who asked media outlets to remain unnamed.
In their conversation, it came up that Bell was going to work for Trump’s campaign.
The government contractor mentioned he had heard about some of Clinton’s missing emails floating around and said the Trump campaign should see if they could obtain them, according to the Daily Wire.
The contractor denies he is an FBI informant or any type of spy or government plant.
