Former special counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and saw his findings get picked apart by multiple Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
Schiff in particular pelted Durham repeatedly about former President Donald Trump's actions throughout the 2016 campaign, where he openly encouraged the Russian government to hack his opponent's emails and where his son took a meeting with a Russian agent promising dirt on said opponent.
Durham at times appeared to be unfamiliar with some of the facts mentioned by Schiff, including the fact that Trump repeatedly encouraged people to read the hacked Clinton campaign emails that were stolen by Russian intelligence services and spread via WikiLeaks.
