Lawmakers who recently traveled to Russia are defending the FBI amid new accusations that the law enforcement agency could have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing.
Russian security officials told members of Congress late last month that they provided the FBI and the CIA with detailed information that might have thwarted the deadly assault. The intelligence about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one the bombing suspects, wasn’t acted upon, according to statements provided to The Washington Post over the weekend.
