The release of special counsel John Durham's report on the origins of the FBI investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election comes four years after he began his probe.
The special counsel said the FBI had an"obligation" to look at the allegations, but it did not perform full due diligence in opening the probe. Durham, in the probe, concluded that the Justice Department and FBI had"failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities" described in his report.
Durham said there was"significant reliance on investigative leads" provided or funded by Trump's opponents.The FBI, under Director Christopher Wray, had implemented a number of reforms before the Durham report was released, a point that it noted in responding to the release of the report. As part of his 48-month probe, Durham was tasked with examining the following: whether there was adequate predication for the FBI to open its Crossfire Hurricane investigation; whether the opening of the probe was consistent with FBI policy; whether there was evidence that the actions of FBI employees or third parties violated the law; and whether the Justice Department provided false information on applications for electronic surveillance.
