Fox News analyst Juan Williams dismissed GOP lawmakers' claims of whistleblowers having damning evidence on the Bidens, calling it a bunch of rumors and innuendo with no hard evidence. Williams compared the allegations to the Democrats' flawed Steele dossier. GOP lawmakers pushed a 2017 WhatsApp message purportedly showing Hunter Biden pressuring a Chinese business associate to act on a deal while wielding Joe Biden's influence. The Justice Department concluded a five-year investigation of Hunter Biden last week that will likely result in no jail time.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who was one of the faces of CNN's Russiagate coverage, called the Durham Report "devastating" to the FBI and exonerating to former President Donald Trump. Tapper was one of the first journalists to report on the existence of the Steele dossier, which has since been widely discredited. The Durham Report confirmed that the Russia investigation was based on unsubstantiated and politicized origins, and Tapper's comments are significant as he was in some ways the face of CNN's Russiagate coverage.

Special counsel John Durham's report revealed that Charles Dolan, a PR executive with close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, was likely the source of the "pee tape" claim in the Steele Dossier report. The report also criticized the FBI for relying on Igor Danchenko, who had a "troubling history" and was the linchpin to the uncorroborated allegations contained in the Steele reports. Despite concerns, the FBI continued to employ Danchenko as a confidential informant for more than three years, paying him a total of $220,000.

Special counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI should never have launched a full investigation into connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, according to a report compiled over three years. Durham’s report also states that the FBI used “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence,” to launch the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into Trump and Russia but used a different standard when weighing concerns about alleged election interference regarding Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Durham did not recommend any new charges against individuals or “wholesale changes” about how the FBI handles politically charged investigations, despite strongly criticizing the agency’s behavior.
