Crossfire Hurricane with Josh Campbell

CROSSFIRE HURRICANE was the codename the FBI gave the investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia. And like any hurricane disaster surrounded it.

Join Spy Museum's Historian and Curator Andrew Hammond in conversation with Josh Campbell, former Special Assistant to FBI Director James Comey. In that position, Campbell had a front row seat to the FBI’s investigation and experienced the growing alarm inside the Bureau about the sustained assault on the FBI and its independence.

The former special agent has written CROSSFIRE HURRICANE: Inside Donald Trump’s War on the FBI, an illuminating fly-on-the-wall account from the earliest days of the Russia investigation. Campbell—now a CNN correspondent covering crime, justice, and national security issues—will also discuss his perception that Trump had declared war on justice and how that appeared from his perspective inside the FBI, the Trump administration's unwillingness to prioritize combatting far-right extremism, and the ongoing challenges to public safety after the January 6th insurrection.

Following their discussion, you’ll be able to ask questions via our online platform.
