reporter: hi, mike. from whistleblowers to sur styling americans, the fbi has had a lot to answer to this past week, starting on monday with the release of the durham report which concluded the agency did not have sufficient evidence to open investigation into then-candidate trump and, quote, our investigation also revealed that senior fbi personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards or the information they received, especially from politically-affiliated persons and entities. this is an investigation with no basis, and that makes a lot of people mad. that hurt the previous administration for about two years. it is critical the american people understand how their government, their agencies have been turned on them, the taxpayer. reporter: republicans want durham to testify on capitol hill this week. there are democrats downplaying the report, some outright dismissing it. this is an investigation that started in a flawed manner, it was conducted in
back to school. i think the more voices like glenn youngkin s voice is, i think, are helpful to the party as a whole. so i hope he runs. i think the more people we have involved, i think it helps create a solid republican narrative for the next cycle. mike: let s put on the screen the declared republican candidate cans at this point. it s getting crowded. does a crowded republican field benefit former president trump, kristin? potentially. i think, but i think, you know, what is, you know, as a democrat who wants the former the current president to win again, what s really scariest to me is somebody like glenn youngkin, all right? again, i do not think do i think people are done with donald trump. but somebody s going to have to take it to the current president. that was definitely a very presidential, you know, video. i mean, all, you know, signs would indicate that he s going to run. but i don t want to speak for the republican party [laughter]
you know, yeah, it s great that they re going to do the fbi investigation now. i give i did notice that mr. flake was did seem moved by her testimony. so i think this is a positive development, but it s still been a very broken process. you saw what happened to him on the elevator today, right? i did. what did you think? mm-hmm. yeah. you know, the pain in that woman s voice is is being echoed around the country by a lot of people. during this whole ordeal, i got texts. i talked to people yesterday who were getting texts from people all over the country who were watching her testimony and crying and having to deal with their own experiences of sexual violence. it was just horrific.

so they have to do it on an ad hoc basis. c should say republicanshen theyer were running the chamber also had those issues but makes you wonder if neither party can get a budget in place by october 1st maybe that s why sometimes we have some of these spending issues there. ed, wonderful to see you in this role. i ll do almost anything for you? you were excellent. i won t d the quest segment, whatever that is. reciate i want to know who t voice is. we can t tell you about that. who is the voice? thanks for asking, ed. catch you tomorrow. ed henry. your next cnn equals politics update an hour away. it s a word that you probably heard before. it sounds almost profane but don t worry. you won t have to cover your ears.
