Summary

The 2016 presidential election and what happened after are under scrutiny again, as the Department of Justice opens a grand jury investigation into the Obama-era probe of Russian interference. Back in July, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified intelligence about the investigation into the Trump campaign, arguing that it would expose manipulation and possible treason by Democrats and Obama White House Officials. Sunday Night in America host and former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony this week to discuss the investigation and look back at the events during and after the 2016 election that are still in question. Gowdy explained why he never believed the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians, and why he thinks officials in the intelligence community, including former CIA Director John Brennan, lied under oath and to the American people about the “Russiagate” conspiracy. The Trey Gowdy Podcast host went as far as to say it was the Democrats and the Clinton Campaign who colluded with the Russians, and they intentionally tried to undermine President Trump’s first term. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Trey Gowdy and get even more of his thoughts on what he thinks really happened during the 2016 election.
