Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo pressed a top aide to President Obama about what the former president knew about the launch of the Russia probe into President Trump's 2016 campaign. In an interview Tuesday, Bartimoro asked Valerie Jarrett whether Obama "directed" the probe into Trump campaign ties to Russia, which eventually sparked the Mueller investigation. SECRET SOURCE FOR ANTI-TRUMP STEELE DOSSIER IS REVEALED"That's not how it works," Jarrett, former Obama senior adviser, said in distancing Obama from the Russia investigation and the dossier authored by British ex-spy Christopher Steele. The report by Robert Mueller was unable to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. The FBI relied on the unverified Steele dossier to get secret wiretaps from the foreign surveillance court to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
