A scathing report released on Monday found the Department of Justice and the FBI 'failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law' when they launched a probe into potential Russian interference in the 2016 Trump campaign.
A scathing report released on Monday found the Department of Justice and the FBI"failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law".The FBI responded Monday to the scathing report by Special Counsel John Durham that found the Department of Justice and FBI"failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation.
"The conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time. Had those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented," the FBI said.
Fox obtained Durham’s report Monday afternoon after his years-long investigation into the origins of the FBI’s original investigation, known as"Crossfire Hurricane". That investigation looked into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.The report spans more than 300 pages.
"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," the report said.
