The Justice Department has announced that it will
investigate the conduct of the FBI during the 2016 election.
FBI Director James Comey dominated many election
headlines over the summer for providing a damning report on Hillary Clinton’s
State Department, yet deciding not to pursue criminal charges against her.
When
critics charged that the agency’s decision made no sense, Comey said that the
FBI would be reopening the investigation. Hillary Clinton voters charged that
his announcement, made just 11 days before the election, handed victory to
Donald Trump.
In his investigation, Inspector General Michael Horowitz
will be examining whether Comey broke government protocol, as well as whether
FBI officials improperly provided nonpublic information to the Clinton
campaign.
Several members of Congress requested the Justice
Department look into these matters.
