DOJ's Office of Inspector General takes heat for allegedly 'targeting political opponents'

The Office of Inspector General at the Justice Department is facing allegations of political bias in a Freedom of Information Act request.

OIG personnel are non-political employees and do not shift with changes to the executive branch. Inspector General Michael Horowitz was confirmed by the Senate in 2012.
However, recent reporting and documents reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal that some OIG personnel, including ones responsible for overseeing investigations into Trump administration political appointees, appear to have partisan bias.
