Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., criticized Christopher Wray's response to the inspector general report on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, released Thursday.
Gowdy said on Fox News Thursday evening that Wray's assertion that the report will not have lasting consequences for the bureau is flat-out "wrong."
"Chris Wray, I'm sorry, you're wrong," the House Oversight chairman stated. "There are consequences."
"The consequences are that your fellow citizens question whether or not they can have confidence in the world's premier law enforcement agency, and that's coming from someone who has defended them a lot throughout his career. This was a bitterly disappointing report," he continued.
Earlier in his appearance, Gowdy noted "it is for the FBI and DOJ, two institutions of our country desperately needs and we desperately have to have confidence in them."
"This level of bias and animus, not only did they want to stop the Trump campaign but he wanted to stop the Trump presidency, Peter Strzok," Gowdy continued.
He explained that Strzok was "the FBI agent who was on Hillary Clinton's investigation and arguably the lead Russia investigator not only wanted to stop his campaign, but once he won, got on the Mueller probe because he wanted to impeach him."
"That is a level of animus and bias that everyone should reject."
