Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH) on Mueller Report: “It Has His Name On There, But In Essence, It Was The Partisan Democrats Who Were Driving The Train On This.”
U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot 20 years ago led the charge to impeach then-President Bill Clinton. On Wednesday morning, the Republican from Ohio who sits on the House Judiciary Committee questioned special counsel Robert Mueller on his investigation into whether the Trump obstructed justice and colluded with Russia. Chabot mostly talked about the “Steele Dossier,” which sparked the Mueller investigation.
One odd exchange came when Rep. Chabot tried to bring up Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to dig up dirt on Trump, and ended up hiring British spy Christopher Steele to compile salacious and unverified information on Trump’s ties to Russia. It was expected that Mueller would deflect any questions that get into the early origins of the investigation. But when Chabot asked him about Fusion GPS, Mueller at first suggested he was not even familiar with the group.
Guy Benson got reaction from Rep. Chabot just one day after this exchange.
