The FBI is currently pursuing three investigations, each out of a different office \u2014 one in San Francisco, one in Pittsburgh and another in Washington, D.C., according to Reuters’ report.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, FBI counterintelligence agents based in the FBI’s Washington are pursuing leads from informants and foreign communications intercepts, says Reuters.\u00a0Reuters did not confirm which entities and individuals were under scrutiny.<\/p>\n
The San Francisco unit is investigating hacker group Guccifer 2, which allegedly leaked emails from the Clinton campaign manager John Podesta’s Gmail after gaining control of his account with a spearphishing attack.<\/p>\n
Reuter’s sources backed up a Tuesday New York Times report that Americans with ties to Trump or his campaign had repeated contacts with current and former Russian intelligence officers before the November election.
