US special counsel John Durham criticizes FBI's handling of Trump-Russia probe.
TL;DR Summary
US Special Counsel John Durham released a report on Monday concluding that the FBI lacked "actual evidence" to investigate Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and relied too heavily on tips provided by Trump's political opponents to fuel the probe. Durham accused the bureau of treating the 2016 Trump probe differently from other politically sensitive investigations, including several involving Trump's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The report is likely to become political fodder for Trump, who is planning to run for re-election in 2024 despite facing criminal charges in New York and two federal investigations.
