US Special Counsel John Durham found the FBI used “raw, unanalysed and uncorroborated intelligence” to justify the probe into the 2016 election.
The 316-page document said the bureau used “raw, unanalysed and uncorroborated intelligence” to launch Crossfire Hurricane, a year-long FBI investigation that ultimately led to then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller finding no evidence of collusion between Moscow and the former president.
He also accused the FBI of having “discounted or wilfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia”. Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an event at the Mar-a-Lago Club April 4, 2023 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Durham claimed the speed with which the bureau rushed to investigate Trump “reflected a noticeable departure” from the “considerable caution” it took when probing claims of foreign election interference levelled against the campaign of former Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
