DOJ inspector general releases report on James Comey investigation

The Justice Department's inspector general has released a report detailing former FBI Director James Comey's handling of classified information in the Russia investigation.

The big picture: President Trump and his allies, who have repeatedly accused Comey of lying and leaking, have hoped that this report would vindicate Trump’s claims that the Russia investigation was a witch hunt. The inspector general found that Comey violated DOJ and FBI policies and his employment agreement, but after evaluating the IG's findings, the Justice Department declined prosecution.
