Ex-prosecutor, congressman Gowdy assumes no more indictments in Durham’s Russia probe

Trey Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor and GOP congressman, doesn't expect U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the FBI’s Russia collusion probe will result in more indictments – with the 2020 presidential race now in the homestretch. 

Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, was appointed in May 2019 by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the federal government's probe into whether the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the election. 

The Durham case has resulted in charges against one federal official, Kevin Clinesmith, a former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty last month to altering an email to get a court to approve surveillance on then-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

“Whether or not there’ll be more indictments or not, I don’t know, and I’d like to assume that there will not be,” Gowdy said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. "That puts me in a small minority, but I’m assuming that the Clinesmith indictment will be the only one."

There has been widespread speculation about when Durham will conclude his investigation, which has the potential to influence President Trump’s closely contested race with Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
