In addition to investigating Russia’s meddling in the presidential election, the FBI is looking into some right-wing websites that potentially helped Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, according to McClatchy.
The FBI wants to know if websites like Breitbart News and InfoWars were connected to Russia’s alleged attempt to interfere with the election results in an effort to increase Trump’s chances at beating Clinton.
Citing “two people familiar with the inquiry,” McClatchy reported that the FBI wants to know if the sites had any role in “a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories,” some of which included fake news.
