Attorney General William Barr said the release of an internal watchdog investigation into whether the FBI followed its own policies and the law when it applied for a warrant to surveil President Trumps campaign starting in 2016 is \u201cimminent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIts my understanding that it is imminent,\u201d Barr said at a conference in Memphis, Tennessee. \u201cA number of people who are mentioned in the report are having an opportunity to right now to comment on how theyre quoted in the report, and after that process is over\u2014it should be very short\u2014the report will be issued,\u201d he said, according to The Hill.<\/a><\/p>\n

Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is leading the investigation, told Congress in a letter in October that he is looking to make as much of the report as public as possible with few redactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspector General Horowitz is a fiercely independent investigator, a superb investigator who I think has conducted this particular investigation in the most professional way, and I think his work, when it does come out, will be a credit to the department,\u201d Barr said, according to The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The release of the report comes at a critical time for the Trump presidency as House Democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry into whether Trump pressured Ukraine while withholding aid to the Eastern European country.<\/p>\n

Trump has often said the investigation as to whether Russia had ties with his campaign is \u201ca hoax,\u201d a \u201cwitch hunt,\u201d and has assailed the current impeachment inquiry as a Democrat-led continuation of that \u201csham\u201d process. Former special counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated whether Trump had ties to Russia, concluded that there was no collusion.<\/p>\n

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Wednesday suggested that the report could come out before the months end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf FISA Inspector General Horowitz report doesnt come out next week when they said it would then I will be very disappointed & left to wonder WHAT THE GAME IS?? Is someone at FBI or DOJ tying IGs hands??\u201d he tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the core of the scandal is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant the FBI obtained to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page. The bureau used an unverified dossier of opposition research in the FISA warrant application, without mentioning that the dossier was funded by Clintons cRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
