FBI’s Trump-Russia inquiry wasn’t biased against president, watchdog finds
Inspector general report pinpoints ‘serious performance failures’ in monitoring of a Trump aide, but says FBI had ‘authorized purpose’
An FBI investigation into the Donald Trump election campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia was justified and not motivated by political bias against him, a government watchdog has concluded.
A report by the justice department’s inspector general demolished three years of claims by the president that he was the victim of a “deep state” conspiracy and that the investigation was based on a dossier compiled by an ex-British intelligence operative, Christopher Steele.
