(Fox News) The Department of Justice inspector general announced a sweeping review Thursday of Justice Department and FBI actions leading up to the November election – in response to criticism from both sides of the aisle over how the agencies handled the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
The decision breathes new life into a controversy that had been fading since Clinton lost to Donald Trump.
The IG’s office said the review will focus on allegations that procedures were not followed in connection to FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on July 5 that he would not recommend charges, even though Clinton and her staff acted “extremely carelessly” in using private email when she served as secretary of state.
