Justice Department Inspector General Says His Report Doesn't 'Vindicate'
Anyone

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - U.S. Justice Department's inspector general said Wednesday
   that his recent finding that the FBI's investigation of the Trump
   campaign in 2016 was not politically motivated and does not "vindicate"
   any official.

   Michael Horowitz released a 417-page report Monday on the FBI
   investigation, stating that while he had uncovered significant
   irregularities in the FBI's surveillance of a former Trump campaign
   aide, he found no evidence of political bias.

   The findings were seen as a rebuttal to President Donald Trump's and
   his Republican allies' repeated claim that the FBI conducted an illegal
   "witch hunt" to bring him down.

   Former FBI Director James Comey, who led the investigation until Trump
   fired him in May 2017, wrote this week that "the truth is finally out"
   and "those who attacked the FBI for two years should admit they were
   wrong."
