During Trump’s latest speech in Ohio, the 45th President completely unloaded on the FBI and the DOJ.
In his speech, Trump pointed out Igor Danchenko a US-based Russian lawyer who has been charged with five counts of making false statements to the DOJ was on pay role as an FBI informant in 2017.
Trump was quoted saying “Remember, we were the ones supposed to be working with Russia. It was the FBI and Democrats who were working with Russia and now it’s all coming out.”

The Washington Examiner had more details about, the FBI informant here:
Igor Danchenko, a U.S.-based Russian lawyer charged with five counts of making false statements to the bureau, was cashing a check from the FBI as a paid informant from March 2017 to October 2020, special counsel Durham claimed.
The revelation, released ahead of the Russian national’s trial next month, casts a shadow over statements made by the DOJ and the FBI in recent years, as both agencies spoke positively of their confidential informant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as well as the House and Senate.
The FBI also misled DOJ leadership about Danchenko.
The bureau put together “Talking Points re Crossfire Hurricane Cases” dated March 8, 2017, with the FBI misdirecting about Steele and Danchenko. At the meeting for DOJ and FBI leaders on March 6, 2017, then-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe appeared to have led much of the presentation.
The FBI talking points referred to Steele as “CROWN” and repeated allegations in the dossier.
“CROWN’s reporting in this matter is derived primarily from a Russian-based source,” the FBI incorrectly said. The bureau had already interviewed Danchenko multiple times and knew he was based near Washington, D.C., not Russia. The talking points also claimed that “the FBI has no control over the Russian-based sub-source.” The FBI made him an informant that month.
Besides calling out the corrupt FBI, towards the end his speech, Trump had many people in tears:
