in the FBI’s investigation of claims former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
Durham, a former US attorney for Connecticut, issued a blistering condemnation of FBI actions in the Trump investigation, writing that officials demonstrated a “pattern of assuming nefarious intent.” Clinton’s campaign financed a gossip-filled dossier by ex-UK spy Christopher Steele that later was used by the FBI to get wiretap orders against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, without disclosure of Clinton’s role.
