Gaetz and Durham sparred over the scope of the special counsel’s investigation into the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump administration over allegations the former president’s campaign coordinated with Russia in 2016 to damage his political opponent, Hillary Clinton. . .
The exchange between Gaetz and Durham got especially testy after the Florida congressman accused the special counsel’s office of failing to investigate Mueller’s team wiping its phones. . .
“That was not something that we were asked to look at,” Durham said. Gaetz interrupted, saying “That’s not true. I’m holding a document that authorizes your activity and it specifically says the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. . . The FBI did a bunch of wrong and corrupt things. Totally understand. We’re trying to deal with that. But when you are part of the cover up, Mr. Durham, and it makes our job harder,” Gaetz said.
