- FBI Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Jill Murphy told House Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman August Pfluger, “I have not yet read the Durham report, sir.”
- He reacted with shock. “I’m honestly speechless at this point in time. I’m not sure what to think about this as someone who has spent an entire career in counterintelligence,” said the Texas Republican.

GOP Chair ‘Speechless’ When FBI Official Says ‘I Just Haven’t Had Time’ To Read Durham Report
FILE - Special counsel John Durham, the prosecutor appointed to investigate potential government wrongdoing in the early days of the Trump-Russia probe, leaves federal court in Washington, May 16, 2022. Durham ended his four-year investigation into possible FBI misconduct in its probe of ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The report Monday, May 15, 2023, from Durham offers withering criticism of the bureau but a meager court record that fell far short of the former president’s prediction he would uncover the “crime of the century.” (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)
