GOP senator: Anti-Trump texts don't taint 'the entire process' of Mueller probe
By Mallory Shelbourne - 12/17/17 11:09 AM EST

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said in a Sunday show interview that the anti-Trump texts sent by an FBI agent formerly working on the special counsel’s probe into Russian election meddling do not taint “the entire process” of the investigation.

Lankford, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, emphasized the importance of whether or not the agent was “directing the investigation one way or the other.”

“Is that something they can go back, and repair, and look and see if there's any kind of bias that's in it? Obviously, I don't think it taints the entire process. But it certainly taints that season of it,” Lankford said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”
