WASHINGTON, D.C. (EETV)- Congressman Mike Rogers is joining the growing number of politicians asking that the special counsel investigation into reported Russian interference in the 2016 election end.
Rogers called the investigation a “witch hunt,” echoing the phrase used several times by President Donald Trump on Twitter.
Rogers joins other members of Congress, including Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy and Indiana Rep. Todd Rokita, in asking that the investigation end.
Rogers writes that the investigation, lead by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, has “hurt Americans.”
The special counsel was appointed in May 2017 by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein following Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal from the investigation.
The investigation, which is estimated to have cost over $20 million, has so far produced no concrete evidence of any collusion between Trump and Russia.
