The FBI secret society is an alleged group of U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation employees with a collective goal of undermining the presidency of Donald Trump. The existence of such a group is considered a "conspiracy theory" originating from a series of texts exchanged between two FBI investigators, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who were formerly on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 United States election as well as the Trump campaign’s alleged involvement in its efforts.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
