Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said Monday that FBI and Department of Justice officials “aided and abetted” the Democratic National Committee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in pushing unfounded claims that Russia colluded with former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“The baseless and politically motivated Russia collusion lie robbed the American people of three years and tens of millions in taxpayer dollars,” Grassley said in a statement released Monday evening. “This lie, perpetrated by the DNC and Clinton campaign, was aided and abetted by senior FBI and DOJ officials who, at best, consciously avoided their duty of due diligence, and at worst, knowingly and willingly participated in one of the dirtiest smears in American history.”
