The White House released the documents detailing the probe, codenamed “Oxferd Comma,” launched after Comey’s May 2017 dismissal. An FBI memo stated investigators sought to determine whether Trump was directed by or coordinated with Russia in ways threatening national security, and whether he obstructed the related investigation.
