The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will press Attorney General Merrick Garland about the investigations overseen by former top FBI official Charles McGonigal, a player in the bureau’s Trump-Russia probe who was arrested last month on criminal charges of colluding with Russia.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said the shocking allegations against Mr. McGonigal cast a cloud over all the FBI investigations in which he was involved, including the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
Upon the announced indictment against Mr. McGonigal, former President Donald Trump declared he was vindicated and trumpeted the irony of it all. Other issues Senate lawmakers are expected to grill Mr. Garland about include the Justice Department’s handling of threats and protests against Supreme Court justices, prosecutions of pro-life protesters and FBI whistleblower claims of corruption and political bias at the executive level of the FBI.
