Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) announced Monday that his panel will review the alleged abuses in special counsel John Durham's investigation into the FBI's 2016 Russia election interference probe.
Last week, a New York Times report alleged Durham's investigation was roiled by misconduct, deployed strong-arm tactics against key witnesses, and moved to indict cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann for allegedly making a false statement despite misgivings of two lawyers on his team that fretted the evidence was too thin. Durbin cited the report as grounds for a review.
Former President Donald Trump long raged against the FBI's Russia investigation and accused the government of"spying" on him. After the Durham investigation began, he occasionally cited the Durham inquiry when criticizing the Russia inquiry. However, Durham's review ultimately yielded little evidence to suggest there was widespread criminal misconduct by the bureau.
