Senate Republicans say investigations into the Obama administration and former VP Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, are about accountability and oversight, not politics. But Trump has openly supported the investigations.
Senate Republicans are using their majority to issue subpoenas in multiple committees on probes related to the Obama administration and Biden -- and plan to issue reports in the months leading up to the election. And they're swiftly receiving declassified documents from outgoing acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell that are both fueling the probes and providing fodder for Trump and his campaign team to attack Biden.
Asked if the probe might hurt Biden politically, Michigan Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, the ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, said:"There's nothing there. They're just trying to say they have an investigation without actually having any substance on it that I can see."The chairmen leading the investigations say they are conducting legitimate oversight.
