The top Senate Democrat has claimed that the FBI is ‘sitting on’ explosive information about Donald Trump’s links to Russia.

In a scathing letter to FBI Director James Comey, Harry Reid of Nevada, accused him of a ‘disturbing double standard’.

‘Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another,’ Reid said.

‘In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers and the Russian government.




‘The public has a right to know this information.’

‘I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election. Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.’

Earlier this year, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a Russian ally of Vladimir Putin, said that Hillary Clinton could spark World War Three.

Zhirinovsky said, ‘Relations between Russia and the United States can’t get any worse. The only way they can get worse is if a war starts.

‘Americans voting for a president on Nov. 8 must realise that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump.

‘But if they vote for Hillary it’s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.’
