Instead, the DNC reached an arrangement with the FBI in which a third party company, CrowdStrike, conducted forensics on the server and shared details with the FBI. Indeed, Crowdstrike's work was cited in Mueller's final report on Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election. However, the DNC famously refused to allow the FBI to access its servers to verify the allegation that Russia carried out a hack during the 2016 presidential campaign. In March 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey was asked about the DNC server during testimony before the House Intelligence Committee - the same session when Comey publicly confirmed for the first time that the FBI was investigating potential ties between the Russian government and members of Trump's presidential campaign.ĭuring that testimony, Comey acknowledged the FBI "never got direct access to the machines themselves," but he said Crowdstrike "ultimately shared with us their forensics from their review of the system," which "my folks tell me was an appropriate substitute."
