Dec. 8 (UPI) — Members of the House judiciary committee largely focused on the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election during former FBI Director James Comey ‘s testimony, a transcript of the hearing released Saturday revealed.
The panel released the transcript of the Friday hearing as part of an agreement with Comey, who initially didn’t want to answer questions behind closed doors.
A Justice Department lawyer largely prevented Comey from answering questions about the investigation into whether Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election. But he did provide information in response to lawmakers’ questions about the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ‘s email use.
