Bernie blasts wife probe

Sen. Bernie Sanders didn’t mince words on Tuesday when asked about the FBI’s investigation of his wife, calling it a “pathetic” and politically motivated attack.

“My wife is about the most honest person I know,” the Vermont lawmaker told CNN. “All that I will tell you now is it’s a sad state of affairs in America when not only we have politicians being destroyed . . . but when you go after people’s wives. That’s pretty pathetic.”

Sanders’ wife, Jane, is being investigated over a $10 million loan that led to the bankruptcy of the now-defunct Burlington College, of which she was the president.

She reportedly brokered the deal herself and promised that the school had raised enough money to pay the debt.
