FBI Director James Comey defended his recommendation of no criminal charges regarding the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified emails before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 7.
Comey spent more than four hours vigorously defending his department and the recommendation to not prosecute Clinton.
The FBI director fended off Republican accusations that his agency acted with bias. He said his decision “was steeped in no kind of bias” and he would’ve handled the investigation the same way whether the person was “rich or poor white or black, famous or not known at all.”
