President Trump has long seized on anti-Trump text messages between two FBI employees to push his unfounded conspiracy theories that the bureau tried to undermine his candidacy.
Turns out, some FBI employees were found to have tweeted politically charged text messages in favor of Trump.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed that he also found pro-Trump text messages between FBI employees.
“So FBI employees held personal political views that were both favorable & unfavorable toward the candidate at that time?” Sen.Dianne Feistein D-Calif., asked.
“Correct,” Horowitz responded without elaborating.
FEINSTEIN: Your investigation also uncovered text messages between FBI employees expressing support for Trump, correct?
HOROWITZ: Yes
