Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) lashed out Senate Democrats on Monday, accusing them of having a "double standard" when it comes to probes coming out of the 2016 presidential election.
Grassley, speaking from the Senate floor, argued that Democrats' support for special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into the 2016 election and demands to see the report and underlying documentation meant they should support similar requests for the handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server and other Obama-era scandals.
"I don't just mean those related to the Mueller investigation. We should see every piece of evidence, including evidence connected to how the Russian investigation started," Grassley said.
Grassley, as chairman of the Judiciary Committee during the previous Congress, requested a slew of information from the Justice Department about its handling of the Clinton email investigation, as well as the opposition research dossier on then-candidate Trump and the FISA warrant application against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
