Fox Guest Floats Possibility Of FBI Assassination Plot Against Trump
A guest co-host on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered” program on Tuesday appeared to suggest that FBI agents might have planned to assassinate President Trump.
In a clip from Tuesday’s episode first reported by Media Matters, guest co-host Kevin Jackson floated the possibility that FBI agents revealed to have sent anti-Trump text messages may have planned to kill Trump after the president defeated Hillary Clinton last November.
“Well, I think they’re going to say what was his intent, right?” Jackson asked, referring to a quote from FBI agent Peter Strzok, which referred to an “insurance policy” against Trump getting elected.
“Because that’s exactly what FBI Director, former FBI Director [James] Comey said when he was letting Hillary Clinton off the hook. And his intent, regardless of whether it was an assassination attempt or whatever, it was definitely something,” Jackson added, to the other hosts’ surprise.
