Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday that the Justice Department has no active criminal investigations into Democratic lawmakers’ remarks about their plans to scrutinize the Trump administration, days after he said lawmakers attempting to open partisan investigations against the administration could be “a crime.”
“There’s no ongoing investigations, criminal investigations into words that that incoming senators or congressmen have said,” Blanche told reporters. Asked what a Democrat had said that crossed a criminal line, he replied, “I’d never said that that point has been crossed.”
