WASHINGTON—The Justice Department’s internal watchdog and Senate Democrats vowed to investigate the Trump administration’sInspector General Michael Horowitz said Friday his office would conduct a probe, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin called for former attorneys general Jeff Sessions and William Barr to testify before Congress about the revelations.
In May, tech giant Apple Inc. notified individuals associated with the committee that the Justice Department had issued grand-jury subpoenas for their information in February 2018, according to a House committee official. The committee immediately contacted the Justice Department for clarification and additional information, the official said, adding that the department informed the committee last month that the matter had been closed.
At the time of the subpoenas, then-President Donald Trump and officials in his administration, including Mr. Sessions, were trying toabout contacts between Russia and figures in Mr. Trump’s 2016 election campaign. Mr. Barr, Mr. Trump’s second attorney general, inherited about a half-dozen leak investigations when he took office in 2019. He directed a federal prosecutor from New Jersey to work on the cases, which had languished under his predecessor, and then brief top officials, a person familiar with the matter said.
You don’t no Christian if you belong to the racist trumplican party.
Who cares.
And they should get to the bottom of abuse of power.
We’ll, now that they’ve vowed to investigate the administration about why they investigated the people investigating administration, I’m under no illusions that the next admin will investigate this. Investigations for every one!
The GOP has been strangely silent today. They seem to be getting boxed into a corner.
Trump weaponized the DOJ to make it a sleazy backroom mirror of his life style.
Let’s hope they follow through with this vow!
Why have used a picture of Apple corporate park instead of the pictures of the people who abused their power presidential and otherwise to request the records?
Because there is nothing else going on.
