Hillary Clinton breaks silence on Durham probe, calls it a ‘fake scandal’
On Wednesday, the former first lady, senator, secretary of state, and a two-time Democratic presidential candidate responded to last week’s court filing by John Durham, special counsel.
Durham alleged in the filing that her 2016 presidential campaign funded computer research to connect Donald Trump, a fellow candidate at the time, to Russia.
“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones,” Clinton tweeted out on Wednesday. “So it’s a day that ends in Y. The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.” She continued, posting a link to a Vanity Fair article entitled, “You’ll never believe it but Hillary Clinton did not, in fact, spy on Trump’s White House”, “For those interested in reality, here’s a good debunking of their latest nonsense.”
Clinton originally ignored questions from The New York Post about Durham’s allegations the day before she finally spoke out.
Durham filed papers in court on Friday in which he claimed that a Clinton campaign lawyer had enlisted a technology executive to help “mine” data from locations including Trump Tower and the White House “to establish ‘an interference’ and ‘narrative’ tying then-candidate Trump to Russia.” The filing has ignited criticism against the Clinton campaign.
Trump described the accusations as “bigger than Watergate,” and called on the Justice Department on Tuesday to declassify as well as release all the leftover documents related to the claims that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
“They have the declassification order. And they should declassify, absolutely, especially in light of what has just happened and what has just been revealed,” the former president said during an appearance on Fox News.
