A pair of top House Democrats are pushing back against the latest Republican allegations aimed at the FBI and Justice Department, stating that GOP lawmakers are intentionally fabricating conspiracy theories in an effort to protect President Trump.
Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y) -- the top Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees, respectively -- rebutted the claim of a GOP lawmaker that two FBI officials conspired to leak damaging information to the press in an attempt to hurt Trump.
“Republicans in Congress repeatedly cherry-pick, mischaracterize, and then leak bits and pieces of documents to fabricate conspiracy theories to protect President Trump, and this is just the latest example," Cummings and Nadler wrote in a joint statement.
