Senators are investigating former AG Loretta Lynch for political interference - CBS News.
Senators investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election are now seeking more information about the firing of FBI Director James Comey, and the Clinton email investigation. Specifically, they’re looking into Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s “alleged political interference,” according to a press release from South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham, Sen. Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, of California; and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, are interested in an April New York Times report that the FBI had obtained hacked documents that included one about a Democratic operative who had “expressed confidence that Ms. Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from going too far.”
The press release says that Grassley requested a copy of this document from the Justice Department, which did not respond. And it went on to note that the Washington Post confirmed the Times report a month later — and further indicated the information had come from a Russian intelligence document describing an email allegedly sent by then DNC-chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Open Society Foundations’ Leonard Benardo. The alleged email was supposed to have said that Lynch had assured the Clinton campaign’s Amanda Renteria that the FBI investigation would not “go too far.”
