Grassley Statement on Release of Justice Department Inspector General Report
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General today released a report on the actions taken by the department and the FBI ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released the following statement on that report.
“I’d like to thank Inspector General Horowitz and his team for their diligent work on this matter. The American people have waited a long time for answers on whether Justice Department and FBI leadership treated Secretary Clinton with kid gloves instead of impartially investigating. I look forward to reviewing the report and hearing directly from the Inspector General on Monday.”
On Monday, June 18, 2018, at 2 p.m., the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing titled “Examining the Inspector General’s First Report on Justice Department and FBI Actions in Advance of the 2016 Presidential Election.” Inspector General Horowitz will testify.
