Ex-Clinton aide implies 'President of France' file found at Trump's home during Mar-a-Lago raid could be valuable to Putin as 'kompromat'
  • The FBI seized "info re: President of France" during the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

  • Jennifer Palmieri, formerly an aide to Hillary Clinton, referred to it as "kompromat" in a tweet.

  • Palmieri also implied in the tweet that the information could be useful to Vladimir Putin.

A former Hillary Clinton aide heavily implied that former President Donald Trump had dirt on the French president and that it could be useful to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Fox News reported.

Jennifer Palmieri, who was the director of communications for Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, did not mention Trump or Putin by name.

But a tweet, shared on Friday night, suggested that information on French President Emmanuel Macron, which was found during the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, could be maliciously used by a world leader.

"Racking my brain here," Palmieri tweeted. "Which world leader would find Kompromat on Macron valuable?"

The hypothetical question appears to be referring to Putin. Palmieri did not immediately respond to Insider's request for clarification.
