Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on today’s release of Special Counsel John Durham’s report, which concluded that the investigation into Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election should never have been launched.

“The long-awaited Durham Report confirmed what the American people already know; that individuals at the highest levels of government attempted to overthrow democracy when they illegally weaponized the federal government against Donald J. Trump. 

“This criminal abuse of power went all the way up to the Oval Office where President Obama and then Vice-President Joe Biden were in on it from the very beginning. This was an unlawful attempt by the politicized FBI and DOJ to meddle in our elections. 

“The entire false smear was manufactured and paid for by political opponents of Donald Trump and perpetrated by the Left's salivating mainstream media stenographers. Crossfire Hurricane was nothing more than an illegal, unlawful, and unAmerican abuse of power. I am more committed than ever to ensuring that those involved are held accountable and face criminal prosecution."
