House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he has "100 percent" confidence in Robert Mueller to conduct a fair investigation if he is given the proper resources, and urged lawmakers criticizing the special counsel to "leave him the hell alone."

“I think he’s got a fair prosecutor in Bob Mueller, but I don’t think he’s got a fair jury,” Gowdy said on “Fox News Sunday,” referring to President Trump. “Mueller didn’t raise his hand and say ‘pick me,’” Gowdy added. “We as a country asked him to do this.”

Mueller is conducting an investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

While Trump has repeatedly labeled the probe a “hoax” and “witch hunt,” several Republican lawmakers have in recent weeks argued the FBI, and Mueller’s investigation as a result, is infected with bias.
