Federal investigators continue to examine what has been described as ‘odd’ activity between computer servers belonging to the Trump Organization and a Russia-based bank, according to CNN.
The FBI is still looking into a possible connection even though in late October there was no evidence of a clear link between then-candidate Donald Trump and the Russian government.
The investigation into possible Trump-Russia ties came about after it was determined that Moscow had orchestrated a campaign of hacks against the Democratic Party during the 2016 presidential election.
Russia has denied allegations of hacking. It also says that reports it colluded with Trump to help him defeat Hillary Clinton and take the White House are false.
But even though the server connection was initially dismissed, the FBI’s counterintelligence team – the same one that is investigating Russia’s alleged hacking – is still looking into it, according to CNN.
While investigators say that the connection is ‘odd,’ they still have not yet determined how significant it is – if at all.
