The Department of Justice's Inspector General's office announced Wednesday that one of their own employee's leaked a draft report to the media that included non-public information.

"The independent investigation conducted by the other Office of Inspector General concluded that a then DOJ OIG employee was responsible for sensitive, non-public information from and about the then ongoing DOJ OIG review, including information from the draft DOJ OIG report, being provided on several occasions to various media outlets prior to completion and official public release of DOJ OIG’s final report, and that the employee did so without authorization from DOJ OIG," a DOJ Office of the Inspector General's investigative summary said.
