Special counsel John Durham released his final, 306-page report investigating the FBI’s investigation into former President Donald Trump‘s alleged links to Russia.
The report was released almost exactly four years since the investigation was launched, on the order of Attorney General William Barr, in 2019.
The report offers criticism of the FBI, finding that it caused “severe reputational harm” in its handling of the case, which was “seriously deficient” at key spots. Durham wrote that the FBI embraced “seriously flawed information” that fell short of the agency’s “own principles regarding objectivity and integrity.”
Durham also alleged hypocrisy on the FBI’s part, noting the contrast between its handling of accusations regarding foreign meddling in Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns.

He found that the Steele dossier, the provoking act for the investigation, was deeply flawed and that the FBI was unable to corroborate “a single substantive allegation.” He added that the agency went through with the investigation despite “a complete lack of information from the Intelligence Community that corroborated the hypothesis upon which the … investigation was predicated.”
