Trump: IG report's conclusion 'wrong,' there 'was total bias'

Source: The Hill

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 06/15/18 08:39 AM EDT

President Trump on Friday declared that the conclusion of a report by the Justice Department's internal watchdog was “wrong,” insisting that it showed that top FBI officials acted with political bias against him.

“The end result was wrong. I mean, there was total bias,” Trump said in an interview from the White House lawn with “Fox & Friends,” pointing to text messages from FBI official Peter Strzok disclosed in the report.

The report by the Justice Department's inspector general “was a horror show,” Trump said, and its conclusion “was ridiculous.”

The report, released on Thursday, faulted former FBI Director James Comey with “insubordinate” behavior during the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election. But it also found no evidence that political bias had the FBI influenced the outcome of that investigation.
