| Dept of Justice IG reportedly probing Comey memos over classified material (opens to video) |
| 2018-04-20 |
| [FOX] The Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly is looking into memos containing classified information that James Comey gave to a friend last year, putting the former FBI boss in the crosshairs of a probe just as his former deputy faces the possibility of a criminal investigation over a separate leak. The Wall Street Journal reported that at least two of those Comey memos had material now deemed classified, prompting the inspector general investigation. A broader set of memos, documenting Comey’s conversations with President Trump, were handed over to Congress Thursday evening. Comey has maintained he didn’t release memos containing classified material. But the Journal noted that Comey himself redacted classified elements in one of those memos, and another memo had material later upgraded by the FBI to "confidential" (a low classification level). |
