DOJ inspector general cannot identify FBI leaks regarding Clinton server in lead-up to 2016 election
Fox News
A yearslong investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general revealed that numerous FBI employees had "substantial" media contacts prior to the 2016 presidential election, but it could not determine who leaked sensitive information to reporters.
The new findings expand upon the investigative work included in a June 2018 report entitled the "Review of Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Advance of the 2016 Election (2016 pre-election report)." The IG report reads in part: "Among the issues we reviewed in that report were allegations that FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information regarding the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The FBI has a strict policy that limits the number of employees who are authorized to speak with the media, and requires approval for any others.More Related News
