Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Thursday that text messages sent between a pair of FBI agents do not prove that the federal probe into President Donald Trump's campaign is biased.
FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who were having an extramarital affair, both served on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation for a short time, and sent messages that derided Trump which have prompted accusations of an FBI conspiracy against the president.
"It doesn't show a biased investigation," Nadler said on CNN's "New Day."
"First of all, she [Lisa Page] and [Peter] Strzok were sending emails back and forth with their personal opinions and the opinions they were stating in those emails were the same opinions of the majority of the American people. They didn't like Trump, they didn't trust him, whatever, and they're entitled to those opinions," he added.
"The question you have to ask is, is the investigation biased, not what are the personal opinions of some of the people who work on the investigation."
