Durham Report Condemns FBI's Trump-Russia Probe.
TL;DR Summary
John Durham, the Trump-era special counsel who investigated the Russia inquiry, accused the FBI of a "lack of analytical rigor" in a final report made public on Monday. The 306-page report repeated previously exposed flaws in the inquiry, including from a 2019 inspector general report, while concluding that the FBI suffered from a confirmation bias as it pursued leads about Mr. Trump's ties to Russia. The report largely revisited criticisms uncovered in a separate investigation and continued to insinuate that Hillary Clinton's campaign had helped fuel the Russia investigation.
