Watchdog raises concerns over Trump-era leak probes of members of Congress
- A top government watchdog raised concerns over the handling of leak investigations during the first Trump administration that targeted members of Congress and the media.
The article discusses a report by the Justice Department's Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, which raised concerns about the Trump administration's investigations into leaks involving members of Congress. The report highlighted that the FBI's investigations into leaks, particularly those involving Rep. Adam Schiff and other Democrats, were potentially influenced by political considerations. It pointed out that the FBI did not adhere to its own guidelines when it came to notifying Congress about these probes, which could have implications for the separation of powers and the independence of legislative activities. The investigations, which started under Trump's presidency, were criticized for lacking proper oversight and for possibly being used to target political adversaries. The report suggests that such practices could undermine public trust in both the FBI and the legislative branch.
