Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, a favourite punching bag for Donald Trump and right-wing media, has said he still believes Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, have kompromat on the president that prevents him from serving the “national interest†of the US.
“I believed at the time in 2016 and I continue to believe that Donald Trump is compromised by the Russians,†Mr Strzok said in an interview on NBC's “Meet the Press.â€
“And when I say that I mean that they hold leverage over him that makes him incapable of placing the national interest, the national security ahead of his own,†said Mr Strzok, who led the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server in violation of government security protocols.

Two dozen baby mountain gorillas are being named to celebrate World Gorilla Day amid ongoing efforts by conservationists to protect them from the coronavirus pandemic.
The infants were named as part of Kwita Izina, the annual mountain gorilla naming ceremony in Rwanda, where they were born.
The event is taking place virtually for the first time in its 16-year history due to the pandemic.
Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Board, said: “This year’s Kwita Izina is special in that we have chosen to go back to our history and tradition to name our baby gorillas as it was done in the past, which is the people that spend a lot of time caring for these babies are the ones that are given the honour and privilege to name them."
