James Baker testimony to Congress yesterday
President Trump’s closest congressional allies said Wednesday that a four-hour interview with former FBI general counsel James Baker
had “fundamentally changed” their understanding of the Justice Department’s Russia investigation, confirming and furthering their
previous convictions that federal law enforcement agencies were biased in their scrutiny of President Trump’s campaign.
Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), both leaders in the conservative House Freedom Caucus, called the closed-door
meeting the “most informative” interview they have had in the House
Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees’ nearly
year-long probe into the FBI’s investigations of the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s
use of a private email server.
