FBI Russia Inquiry: Report Rips FBI, Finds No Anti-Trump Plot

A report by the Justice Department’s inspector general released Monday sharply criticized the FBI's handling of a wiretap application used in its Russia investigation but exonerated former bureau leaders of President Trump’s accusations that they engaged in a politicized conspiracy to sabotage him.

Investigators uncovered “no documentary or testimonial evidence” of political bias behind official actions related to the investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane, according to The New York Times. The FBI had sufficient evidence in July 2016 to lawfully open the investigation, and its use of informants to approach campaign aides followed procedures, the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, determined, the Times reported.
