WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa discussed from the Senate floor the need for answers to outstanding questions surrounding the FBI’s Clinton investigation. Video can be found here and text can be found below.
On Tuesday I spoke about the Clinton investigation, and I want to reiterate one very serious issue. The FBI apparently had highly classified information potentially relevant to the Clinton investigation in its possession. The F.B.I. drafted a memo in May of 2016 to get access to the information. That memo said review of the information was necessary to complete the investigation. Now sadly, that memo was never sent. How could the F.B.I. finish the investigation of the Clintons if they never got access to all the potential relevant information? Congress needs to know what happened in that instance.
Earlier this week, Grassley spoke on the Senate floor about the need for consistency in demanding access to materials related to investigations of significant national interest. Grassley argued that the same level of transparency being demanded in the Mueller investigation should also be sought for investigations involving the Clinton email server and the origins of the Russian interference probe.
