Watchdog to investigate Justice, FBI actions before election

By The Associated Press January 12, 2017 1:21 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department inspector general says he will 
investigate the actions of the Justice Department and FBI in the months leading 
up to the 2016 election, including whether department policies were followed by 
FBI Director James Comey.

Democrats have blamed Comey’s handling of an investigation into Hillary 
Clinton’s private email server, and his late-October release of a letter about 
the case, as a reason for her loss to Republican Donald Trump.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz says the investigation will look at whether 
department or FBI policies were followed in relation to Comey’s actions in the 
case, whether the FBI deputy director should have been recused from the 
investigation, and allegations that department officials improperly disclosed 
nonpublic information to the Clinton campaign.
