“The allegations by Mayor Giuliani over the weekend which would lead to us believe that the Trump people think that the FBI had an undercover agent who inveigled his way into the campaign and was there as a spy on the campaign seem to be baseless. There is no evidence for that whatsoever. But the other allegation about this professor whose name we are not supposed to mention, talking to people on the periphery of the campaign, that is standard operating procedure in intelligence gathering and in criminal investigations.”

The former judge continued by saying that if FBI’s investigation was rooted in a “nefarious” mission, like Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani has claimed, then he “would want to see evidence of that before I made an allegation that outrageous.”
