Rep. Grijalva calling for special investigation on Russian interference during 2016 election
UCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Grijalva made the call following President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey, who had been leading the investigation, saying a special prosecutor is the only way to insure the investigation is not tainted by politics.
"The pressure from the public is huge," Grijalva said of a special counsel. "I think this is a time we need a special prosecutor."
Grijalva also questions the timing of Comey's termination because there were multiple investigations being conducted, of which, the FBI probe was getting the most attention.
