Washington • Sen. Mike Lee said Wednesday it was “absolutely crazy” anyone could argue a new independent report exonerated the FBI in its launching of an investigation into President Donald Trump and Russia election interference.
"There is no planet on which I think this report indicates that things were OK within the FBI,” Lee, R-Utah, said. "They most certainly were not.”
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday held a hearing on the inspector general’s review of the FBI’s probe into Trump’s potential connections with Russian interference in the 2016 election. The review was long-awaited by Republicans who claim the investigation was politically motivated but the inspector general found no such evidence.
