This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:
THE QUICK FACTS
- The Justice Department's internal watchdog, the inspector general, released a highly anticipated report on Monday, which examined authorities' use of surveillance power in the Russia investigation.
- Inspector General Michael Horowitz had been looking into the early stages of the investigation for several months, following questions raised by President Trump, Attorney General William Barr, and others about how it was conducted.
- In the report, Horowitz discredits the accusation that FBI officials acted out of political bias when they initiated their investigation into the Trump campaign and its potential ties to Russian election interference.
- However, the report also documents broad and “serious performance failures” by the FBI requiring major changes.
