House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan asked Attorney General Merrick Garland about the FBI’s involvement in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into former President Donald Trump.
In a letter to Mr. Garland, Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, highlights the importance of Special Counsel John Durham’s report that was released recently and detailed how the FBI used its resources for “purely political purposes.”
“The extent of the FBI’s bias and reckless disregard for the truth, which Special Counsel Durham laid out in painstaking detail, is nothing short of scandalous. The FBI has tried to dismiss the report’s findings by claiming to have ‘already implemented dozens of corrective actions’ to prevent similar misconduct in the future,” Mr. Jordan wrote.
Mr. Jordan notes that Mr. Durham said the FBI “abused its law-enforcement authorities to achieve a political end — that is, hamstring the campaign and presidency of President Trump.” These include the bureau not possessing any evidence of collusion before deciding to launch Crossfire Hurricane as a full investigation as well as failing to apply basic investigative techniques to appropriately assess the credibility of information it received.
