A new report from the House Intelligence Committee found that the FBI “completely mishandled” its investigation into the 2017 shooting at a congressional baseball game practice in Washington, D.C.
The 27-page report, released Tuesday, is the culmination of an oversight investigation into the attack in which four people were shot, including two Capitol police officers and now-Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA). The report criticizes the FBI’s handling of the investigation, as the agency initially characterized the event as a “suicide by cop,” before admitting years later it was a domestic terrorism incident.
Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford (R-AR) accused the FBI of acting with “a complete disregard and lack of investigative integrity” during a Tuesday morning press conference.
