Former FBI General Counsel James Baker said he is not aware of any illegal behavior by former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
During an interview Friday on MSNBC, Baker countered President Trump's claim that certain leaders in the bureau, including Strzok, committed "treason" by trying to "take down" his campaign.
"I was there. There was no conspiracy. There was no effort to engage in treason, a coup d'état, what ever term you want to use. There was just none of that," Baker told host Chuck Todd.
Asked if Strzok did anything illegal, Baker, who resigned from the FBI last year, said: "Not to my knowledge."
"I have not been made aware of any evidence that Pete violated the law — Pete or Lisa [Page], or anybody else violated the law in that regard, with respect to the investigation," he said. "I didn't see anything that I thought was politically motivated in terms of actions or missions on their part."
