Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates appeared before a Senate panel Wednesday where she pushed back against attacks by Republicans aimed at undercutting the legitimacy of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Early in the hearing, Trump took to Twitter to attack Yates as having"zero credibility" and being"a part of the greatest political crime of the Century." Graham's statement was in reference to Yates' criticism of former FBI Director James Comey, who Yates agreed"went rogue" when he authorized two FBI investigators to visit the White House to interview Flynn.
"It was a counterintelligence threat, not a criminal prosecution of the Logan Act that was the focus," Yates said. "I was a prosecutor in the Department of Justice for almost 30 years, and I've certainly never seen a pleading like this," Yates said.
