Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) ripped Republican lawmakers on Thursday, saying their recent attacks on the FBI are nothing more than "self-serving paranoia."

"Since this investigation has started our nation has had to endure conspiracy after conspiracy from the right wing, Republican congressmen, senators and of course the right-wing press, which acts in total cahoots," he said from the Senate floor. Schumer said GOP lawmakers are offering "conspiracy theories with virtually no fact. Paranoia, delusion, why?"

He also took a veiled swipe at Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) who has seized on a text message between two then-FBI officials, one of whom mentioned a "secret society” — possibly as a private joke.

"It looked delusional. It looked paranoid. What began as an attempt to discredit the investigator has now devolved into delusional, self-serving paranoia," Schumer said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
