Sanders dodges question on FBI investigation into his wife

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday ignored questions about the FBI investigation into his wife from Fox News and The Associated Press, opting instead to give an answer about healthcare to a Fox News reporter who caught up with him outside the Capitol. 

“No, that’s not what I’m talking about today,” Sanders told an Associated Press reporter who also attempted to ask about the FBI’s investigation into his wife.

A reporter for Fox News asked Sanders Monday if he still thought the probe into his wife was “politically motivated” now that other news outlets have reported on the investigation. 

“Well I’m glad that you’re interested in the fact that the Republican leadership is proposing legislation which would throw millions of people off of health insurance,” Sanders told the reporter in a brief clip aired by Fox News.
