Special counsel John Durham testified Wednesday before Congress that the Biden Justice Department never blocked him from bringing high-profile prosecutions during his four-year investigation.
When asked if there was anyone he wanted to indict but was prohibited by Attorney General Merrick Garland, Mr. Durham responded, “No.”
“You had all the power in the world to indict anyone you had evidence to indict, and you were never blocked from doing it?” asked Rep. Eric Swalwell, California Democrat.Mr. Durham has faced withering criticism from Republicans for not bringing criminal charges during his probe into wrongdoing by FBI officials pursuing allegations that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Some Republicans, including Trump allies, have complained that Mr. Durham’s investigation did not result in criminal charges against former FBI Director James B. Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
