Fox News: Trump Never Warned that Flynn and Papadopoulos Were Under Investigation During Aug 2016 Briefing Just reported on Fox News Live.  Will post report/video when available. The FBI/Intel groups held a defensive briefing with candidate Trump on Aug 26th 2016, which was coordinated by  Peter Strzok.  In this briefing, Trump was never told that two aides were under investigation by the FBI -- specifically Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos. As you may recall, Strzok opened the Cross-fire Hurricane investigation on July 30th, and Strzok and Page had already exchanged the infamous "insurance policy" text message prior to briefing Trump.
