Republican senators tore into the Obama-era FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) on Wednesday, calling a report from a DOJ watchdog a "scathing indictment" of the FBI.

GOP senators, in back-to-back statements, hammered the FBI over DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's findings on surveillance of Trump campaign associates during the 2016 election.

"This report is a scathing indictment of the FBI, of the agents that were involved," Sen.(R-Utah) said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
