Ted Cruz: It's a 'sad day' for Justice Department after 'stunning' IG report
Ahead of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that this marks a sad day for the department and that he disagrees with the watchdog report's conclusions about political bias not playing a role in the FBI's Russia investigation.
"It is over 500 pages long and it details over and over and over again, the blatant misconduct, unfortunately, at the FBI and the Department of Justice," Cruz said. "It details 17 serious misstatements that the FBI Department of Justice made to the FISA court, statements that just weren't backed up by facts."
Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Bill Hemmer, Cruz said that while he believes Wednesday's hearing is "going to be very valuable," the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) report released by Horowitz on Monday was "nothing short of stunning."
The review about the origins of the Russia investigation determined that the FBI complied with policies in launching the politically explosive probe but also flagged "significant concerns with how certain aspects of the investigation were conducted and supervised."........
