Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is turning over information to U.S. Attorney John Durham regarding the potential criminal actions of a former FBI official involved in the investigation of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Bill Priestap was 1 of 5 FBI employees who briefed the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2018, Graham said Aug. 14, accusing the briefers of “completely whitewashing the truth about the reliability of the dossier.”
