An email sent by former National Security Adviser Susan Rice reveals that President Barack Obama had a meeting with FBI Director James Comey and incoming Acting Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office to discuss the Trump-Russia investigation on Jan. 5, 2017, just weeks before Trump was inaugurated as president.

The email stands in sharp contrast with public statements made by the former president, who claims to have not been involved in the FBI’s investigations into Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
