"A top Republican wants U.S. Attorney John Durham to pick up the pace with his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation.
Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the minority whip, said people have a right to know the extent of any misconduct in the Obama administration before they go to the polls in November, particularly because former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, could have been privy to the actions taken by the FBI to investigate the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
"Joe Biden has serious questions to answer," the congressman told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on Saturday.
Scalese explained that the role Republicans in Congress will play is drawing attention to the controversy while the Justice Department takes the lead in rooting out any criminal misconduct.
As for Durham's investigation, Scalise said, "I want to see it sped up. I sure have been vocal about that."
He said it is because the election is coming up, and concerns have been raised about the appearances of such an inquiry reaching a climax right before the big event.
"Justice has to be served and not next December," Scalise said. "There is an election coming up and the American people have a lot of decisions to make. All of this needs to be factored into what they decide. To see some of the dirty stuff that went on all the way possibly to President Obama at the time and Joe Biden when he was vice president."
Pirro brought home the idea that Biden could have been a knowing player in the Russia controversy by noting the former vice president attended a White House meeting about the Intelligence Community Assessment during the presidential transition period."
